  • “Major wow!This was dessert for last night’s cookout, and I made two pies for 10 people, and there’s only one tiny little piece left over, but I think one of my kids snagged that for breakfast.I used a soy based cream cheese as well as soy whip, since I didn’t want a dairy dessert.The chopped peanuts add a great, crunchy touch to the pie.I used creamy peanut butter, next time it’s going to be super-cruch all the way.Diana, this one really rocks!”

  • “I made this for a picnic. I made it the day before and froze it. By the time it was served it was soft on the outside and still frozen on the inside….it was wonderful and everyone told me so!! Thanks for the great recipr.”

  • “I made this recipe after Di suggested it in the talk area – WOW!This pie is rich, creamy, delicious – pretty much perfect.It was easy to make and after adding the cream the peanut butter & cream cheese filling becomes silky smooth (I used smooth peanut butter). Although it has a lot of sugar it doesn’t turn out too sweet.I used a chocolate biscuit crumb base and served chilled.The biscuit crumb crunch went nicely with the smooth filling and topping – Sensational and definately worth the honour of five full stars.”

  • “Thank you di neal!!! This pie was excellent, just what I was looking for when I posted a request for dense pie…very easy to make, very delicious!!!Tina”

  • “I made this yesterday using a pre-made shortbread cookie crust.It was easily put together and it received great reviews.I will definitely make this again for my guests.Thank you for posting this recipe!”

  • “I have my own recipe for this which only uses peanut butter, whipped cream topping, pie crust and chocolate chips or fudge topping. This always is a hit in my house. I have learned that if I am taking one somewhere I best make 2 extra because one will be gone before we leave the house and the one I take will not be enough. I just thought I would post my ingredients because they are simple and few. I like quick and easy….”

  • “Made this for a coworkers birthday party today at the office. Total hit! I used a pre-made chocolate crust to make it even easier — definitely DECADENT. So stick to slimmer slices to keep from chocolate overload, but you’ll probably revisit the pie often….if it lasts!”

  • “This was good.I’m not sure I’ve ever had an issue with this before but it was actually too creamy.I’m not sure what could be done to rectify this, but a more solidified pie would suit me better.It did receive good reviews at the party however.I used a chocolate cookie crust (premade).”

  • “Insanely delicious!!The filling was so smooth & so good!Nice strong pb flavour contrasted with the fudgey ganache – how could you go wrong??My cream cheese mixture was very, very thick & I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to fold the whipped cream into it.So, I mixed in a couple of tablespoons from the 1/2 cup before I did the whipping and didn’t have any problem.The only thing that could possibly make this pie any better would be to use a graham cracker crumb or Oreo cookie crumb crust.”

  • “Wow is this pie rich!I made it because my picky son will not try pumpkin pie!I know he would like it if he would just try it.He loved this pie, but just couldn’t finish an entire piece.I recommend cutting small pieces if you make this.Thanks for a great recipie, DiB’s.”

  • “I just made this and it’s so good!I love chocolate and peanut butter and you get just enough of each!I used a graham cracker crust and 1 cup Cool Whip instead of the whipping cream and left out the 1/4 c. sugar.I did a mix of semi sweet and white chocolate chips for the topping b/c I had a little bit of each, and skim milk.However next time I think I’ll use 1/4 c. milk and about 4 oz. chocolate chips b/c the 6 I used seemed to be a bit too much.I stuck it in the freezer for maybe 10 minutes then had a slice and it was perfectly set and delicious!!Thanks for this yummy recipe :)”

  • “I knew this would be good, but WOW, it is so delicious!The peanut butter filling is silky and creamy and the topping is just the right amount of chocolate.I used Recipe #28943 which shrunk up quite a bit when I baked, so I had a good bit of filling left over.I just put it inn a bowl with some topping and it was wonderful.Normally my favorite part of the pie is the crust, but in this case, the crust was totally unnessary!I didn’t add the chopped nuts, but didn’t miss them at all.Thank you so much!”

  • “This is a great recipe!I took 4 pies to Thanksgiving dinner and everyone swarmed this pie like a bunch of locusts. Nobody had the option to go back for seconds because there was nothing left after the first round. I think what I liked best about this recipe is that it’s not overpoweringly sweet like a lot of peanut butter pies.”

  • “Delicious!!Husband, son and daughter loved it.”

  • “Very yummy!!I’m definitely making this one again.The freezing idea was great!!It made it nice and cold on a warm summer day.I substituted 6oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips for the squares since I didn’t have any.I think that I would add some sugar to the chocolate next time since I like that a bit sweeter.Thanks for a great recipe”

  • “This was a great recipe… everyone just loved it… the only difference I made was that I added some semi-chocolate chips to the filling it self instead of the topping, it turned out great!!!”
