Expert Tips

Shave off 65 calories and 8 grams of fat per serving by replacing the beaten whipping cream with 3 cups of reduced-fat whipped topping.

You can use 2/3 cup crème de menthe syrup in place of the liqueurs in this recipe You'll find the syrup in the ice-cream toppings section of your supermarket.

To easily scoop the marshmallow creme out of the jars, lightly spray a rubber scraper with cooking spray.

Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and chopped chocolate mint candies.

    This was very good! I used cool whip instead of the whipping cream and didn't bother to refrigerate for 45 minutes before adding it and it was fine. I served with cool whip and andes mint baking chips as suggested and it was delicious!

    I used 2 pre-made oreo cookie pie shells instead of making my own crust. The pie itself was rather too cream-cheesey for me. I def. added more alcohol too. It looks great but not the best tasting for me.

    RE Karendancer: Famous Chocolate wafers from Nabisco is what we are referring to in this recipe. They can be difficult to locate in your grocery store. You can usually find them either in the cookie section or with the ice cream toppings. They come in a long narrow, yellow box and you are able to see the wafers through the top of the box. If you have trouble finding them ask you grocer and they should be able to assist you.
