Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (16 oz or more)
- 1 – 8 oz package cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1 can Eagle Brand condensed milk
- ½ cup cold half and half
- 1- 3.9 oz package chocolate instant pudding
- 1 ½ cup Malt-O-Meal Cocoa Dyno Bites cereal
- 1 cup toffee pieces
- Topping – Hershey kisses (pumpkin spice flavor)
Directions:
- Roll out cookie dough into circle or square ¼” thick, bake for 12-15 minutes until the edge is set (your cookie will be soft). Let cool for 15 minutes, then loosen cookie from pan running a knife under the edge. Let cookie completely cool before adding the other layers.
- Mix cream cheese and sugar in a small bowl. Mix condensed milk, half and half and pudding in another bowl. Mix until well blended. Let sit for 5 minutes (this will create a very stiff pudding that feels more like frosting).
- Spread cream cheese mix on top of cookie. Sprinkle 1 cup of the Cocoa Dyno Bites cereal on top of the cream cheese. Then sprinkle ½ of the toffee pieces on top as well. Press these toppings into the cream cheese gently.
- Next, spread the pudding mix on top of the cookie. Then sprinkle the rest of the cereal and toffee pieces on top of the pudding
- Use the Hershey Kisses as garnish around the edges, or in the middle of each piece.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate.
