Peanut Butter-Chocolate Freezer Pie

"I made this recently it is *SOOOOOOO* good, it's like a frozen Reese's peanut butter cup :) If you are a lover of peanut butter and chocolate you will love this! it has a chocolate layer spread over the crust, then a creamy peanut butter/cream cheese middle, then topped off with chocolate drizzle, you could double the amount for the chocolate topping which I did do but found that it was too much for my liking, if you like lots of topping then go ahead and double, remove this pie from the freezer about 15 minutes before slicing, I think this pie could also be served from the refrigerator and not frozen ;-)"

  1. This was a huge hit at my house. The entire family raved about it. It's easy to make which made it even better. Thanks for sharing this great keeper.
     
  2. This is an rich and delicious peanut butter-chocolate pie. It was relatively simple to make, but the results are outstanding. My family absolutely loved it. I did freeze the pie for a couple hours, but then I refrigerated it. Even with refrigeration, I think it is best to let the pie sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes for easier slicing. I did not use any additional chocolate topping - the amounts listed are sufficient. Covered, the pie seems to keep well for a couple days. I will definitely be making this one again.
