This Candy Land Dessert made of pudding, ice cream and Heath bars is a family favorite! Dirt pudding is everywhere, but this recipe puts a rich twist on a common cookie and pudding dessert. I asked my husband to describe this recipe and he said, “It’s DELICIOUS!”
My mom has made this recipe several times and my family LOVES it! It tastes great the first day and even better the second day! I’m not sure if we’ve ever had any last until the third day.

Ice Cream and Pudding Dessert
The base layer of Lorna Doone cookies and butter is rich. Next is my favorite layer, the vanilla ice cream and pudding. Spread with whipped topping, sprinkle with Heath candy bar bites and this is a unique and memorable dessert!
Everything mixes and spreads easier when the ice cream has been softened and the whipped topping is at room temperature. One time I tried to make this recipe with cook and serve pudding and that did not work. As long as instant pudding is used this is a great dessert!
Delicious Ice Cream Dessert Idea
Once you make this recipe you’ll understand why it’s a tried and true family favorite. I like to make it for parties and holiday gatherings where there are at least ten people. This dessert makes generous and delicious portions!
Here are a few other dessert recipes that our family loves: Cinnamon Applesauce Cake, Gooey Butter Cake, Pumpkin Pie Cake, and Pina Colada Cake. We hope you enjoy these dessert recipes as much as we do!

I could eat A LOT of this dessert. Super yum!!
This looks wonderful and I’d love to try it. Just not sure I understand that it is to be stored in the refrigerator, not the freezer. Doesn’t the ice cream melt?
Great question! So this recipe tastes best when eaten quickly. We still enjoy it the next day in the refrigerator, but it doesn’t last much longer. Trying the freezer might make leftovers last longer!
