A good combination, rich & peanutty, as well as being easy to make with items I keep on hand. The yummy crust of chocolate grahams with dry-roasted peanuts is a great idea that could benefit from just a sprinkling of sugar or sweetener. The chocolate zigzags on top all melted together before I had a chance to slice this dessert; maybe the too thin chocolate syrup is best reserved until serving time. Your recipe was still enjoyed ~ Thanks!

This was extra extra peanutty and really delicous because of it! The chocolate fudge sauce didn't thicken so when I cut the tip off the bag it just poured out all over the place(luckily I was holding the bag over the pie). So I ended up with a chcolate sauce coating on top of the pie, which was just as good. PS. I ate this for breakfast :)

Mmmm, frozen peanuty goodness! I made a tiny pie version of this with half vanilla and half low fat coffee ice cream. We liked the coffee the best, since the coffee in the syrup is pretty subtle. I never knew coffee and peanut butter went so well together! I thought this was a creative use of the contest ingredients. I used regular Smart Balance, since the light is not intended for melting. We loved the nuts in the crust. My chocolate sauce did not harden to fudge consistency in the freezer after 10 minutes, so I poured it over the pie and it was much thicker 10 minutes after that (in the freezer). This is just as good, if not better, without the whipped topping. A full recipe easily yields 16 large portions. This was my favorite RSC dessert I made!
