Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie is an ultra rich & creamy pie topped with a thick chocolate topping and sitting on a perfect shortbread crust!
Its not a surprise that this pie is a hit anywhere that ive served it- everyone I know LOVES peanut butter & chocolate!
You can keep it in the fridge but for some reason i like mine out of the freezer, its just a preference though!
This pie is literally one of my obsessions and I have to really contain myself when I make it, because I will eat the whole darn thing!
You can add some toppings to this pie! I think chopped reeses cups to the top would be downright dangerous!
You can really get creative with toppings! Even m&ms, chocolate shavings or peanuts!
You CAN make this pie a no bake by using a premade crust or doing a simple graham cracker crust but the added shortbread crust is out of this world and I do recommend it!
You could even do a chocolate premade crust or a added thin layer of chocolate pudding even- so many possibilies!
This pie recipe is amazing and not soupy like many other pie recipes ive tried in the past!
