Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

My dear friend Currié’s birthday is tomorrow, so we had them over for dinner tonight. She requested some of her favorites–Chicken Milanese, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, and House Salad with Fran’s VinaigretteI made this easy chocolate peanut butter pie recipe from Taste of Home for dessert. I adapted it by adding pieces of mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (her favorite candy) and then drizzled the top with melted chocolate. This peanut butter chocolate pie was pretty and tasted delicious, rich, and very decadent!! It was a big hit with everyone, especially the birthday girl!

  1. WOW! Peanut butter and chocolate are a favorite combo in my house. Pam- I see that you used a pre-made crust in a disposable pan, but your recipe instructions say to mix cookie crumbs, sugar and butter together for the crust. I hate to ask this, but would it be possible for you post the crust ingredient measurements? I would love it if your recipe included the crust so I don’t have to link over to TOH every time I make this, which I’m sure will be often! 🙂
