  1. I made a few changes to it but everyone that ate it loved it. I bought some refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough to use as the crust, I spread it out in the pan and baked it for 20min then spread out some milk chocolate chips and let them melt on the cookie crust. I spread it out and made a thin layer of chocolate to create a barrier between the cookie and cheesecake. I also used 1/3 crunchy peanut butter and also added in 1pkg of dream whip.
     
  2. My family loved this pie. The peanut butter flavor is very strong, which most of us liked except one son. I might experiment with only one cup of peanut butter next time. YUM. :)
     
  3. This was wonderful! I topped it with coolwhip and sprinkled shaved chocolate on top rather than dribbling chocolate. The only problem I had was that the 4 oz of chocolate chips spread across the graham crust, while absolutely delicious, was so hard that I had a very hard time cutting the pie to serve. I had used a storebought graham crust, meaning it was in a flimsy pie tin. Next time I will make my own crust in a pyrex pie plate so that the sharp knife doesn't cut right through the pie tin. Thank you for a wonderful recipe Angela!
     
  4. Simple to mix up and yummy to eat. I used Keebler's Low Fat graham cracker crust, and it crumbled as I was spreading the chocolate in it, so we had more of a pudding than a pie. Regardless of the "format" however, BF was thrilled with it.
     
  5. This was really good and really easy! The only change I made was to use a homemade graham cracker crust. A very nice alternative to a heavy cheesecake...thanks!
