Peanut Butter Chocolate Mud Pie
"This is the best Peanut Butter Pie I have ever tried. My brother-in-law works in a bakery, and developed this. It is rich enough, you can only have a small sliver. Well worth cheating on the diet. I usually double the recipe and put it into a glass rectangle pan."

This recipe was the "highlight" of my Christmas Dessert menu. Due to Australia not having the cookies stated I altered this recipe to suit what I could buy. I used chocolate ripple cookies and made a chocolate base (with melted butter), but I had too many, so I saved that 1/2 cup of crushed cookies for the topping. I made the filling as written (but with chunky peanut butter). The topping was crushed cookie crumbs and the last of my caramel topping and it looked fabulous! I fed 12 and they all stated that it tasked like a snickers bar, a huge compliment as I don't know anyone who doesn't like snickers. Beware though - it is very rich and a small slice goes a long way! Even with my changes (which I didn't want to, but had no choice) I will be making this again. -
Made it for family and it was gone in seconds!! -
All I can say is YUMMM.
