This is a very fudge-like type of pie. I suggest reducing the confectioner's sugar by 1/2 cup at first and then adding bit by bit until you get the texture you'd like as mine ended up a bit dry. The chocolate covering became a hard glaze which lifted a bit from the peanut butter layer when cutting. It has a nice sweet flavor. Based on the title it is like a peanut butter cup in texture and sweetness.
