Ever since I split a slice of peanut butter pie with my friends at a girls night I have been craving more. I have a recipe for a peanut butter pie that I really like but I was really needing something chocolate that day too, that is how this recipe came to be.
The peanut butter filling is rich and creamy and there is just the right amount of chocolate.
Again, I am lazy so I just used a refrigerated pie crust from the grocery store. I followed the directions on the pie crust box and baked it first, then made the fillings. This recipe was a big hit in my house and think I will be making it again for Thanksgiving.
