I am enamored with the simplicity of this no-bake pie method ... the simplicity of simply melting some chocolate and stirring it into Cool Whip.  Can a great tasting pie truly be that easy?  Oh, yes.  Yes, it can.  I found that out in the classic No-Bake Hershey's Chocolate Bar Pie I posted a while back.

Once I had whipped up that no-bake chocolate bar pie, I just had to try it out with some other experiments...

... because that's just what I do!

So I turned to the grocery store candy aisle for inspiration.  Yup, I walked up and down the candy aisle asking myself, "What can I melt into a pie next?!?"  I'm sure people were giving me strange looks because I was lingering in front of candy shelves for what probably seemed like a ridiculously long time.

But I was thinking.  And creating ... in my mind.

I have many experimental ideas I'd like to try with this method.  But I landed first on Andes Creme de Menthe Thins.  "Mmmm, hmmmm," I thought, "these will melt up perfectly!"

And they did.

Absolutely perfectly to create this delectable No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie.

I threw in a teeny bit of mini chocolate chips for some texture.  I like the bit of crunch they give.  But if you'd prefer a completely creamy pie, you could just leave them out.

As I said, I've got some other experiments up my sleeve with this melt-stuff-and-stir-it-into-Cool-Whip method.  I can't wait to keep trying them out!  {Hope the family's ready to eat a lot of pie.}

Have you got ideas for what to try with this method?  What would you try melting and stirring into Cool Whip to create a pie??  I'd love to hear!
