This was a very easy, fast recipe that tastes delicious. I didn't have peanuts for the topping and used small milk chocolate chips instead.

Just made this recipe for tonight's dinner. It is absolutely fantastic. I used 1 cup peanut butter and instead of salted peanuts, I used milk chocolate chips and cut up Reese Peanut Butter Cups to decorate the tops of the pie. Will definately make this pie again!!!!

do you use a mixer to beat the pb, cc & conf sugar, or do you beat by hand?

Excellent recipe, been making for years and everyone thinks its complicated!! I sometimes add a little vanilla and if it seems too thick I add a splash of milk or cream..yummy!!!

I add chopped peanut butter cups and a layer of whipped cream on top and garnish it with just a few chopped peanut butter cups.

I've been making this pie for years. My family loves it, and it always disappears at get togethers. I make two pies with it though. First, take two Oreo pie crusts. Second, divide peanut butter pie filling between pie crusts. Third, melt 4.4 oz. Hershey's candy bar in microwave till softened. Forth, whip 12 oz. Cool Whip into melted chocolate before chocolate begins to firm up. I use a mixer to beat it quickly. Fifth, layer chocolate mixture on top of peanut butter mixture. If desired, you can top this with a layer of Cool Whip and use your imagination to dress this up. Enjoy!!

I make this often, using a full cup of peanut butter, 8 oz of low fat cream cheese, and a cup of splenda. Sometimes I get "fancy" and drizzle a little sugar free chocolate sugar on the top. A great dessert for diabetics.

Mom keeps this frozen so it is almost an ice cream pie. She also uses a full cup of peanut butter.

Loved the pie! The filling was perfect! My family loves peanut butter and chocolate so I used a choc graham cracker crust and topped with mini choc chips instead of peanuts and everyone went crazy over it! The pie was gone in less than 10 mins!

Oh my word... this dessert is delicious!! I made them in cupcake form. I packed the graham crust in each one, then a little bit of hot fudge, then poured in the mixture, topped it with cool whip and chocolate shavings. Wow! They taste great frozen as well, and will easily thaw and refreeze just fine.

This recipe is great with a chocolate cookie crust, and drizzled chocolate over the top. I also freeze this pie in the summer for an ice cream type pie. Yummy!!

Awesome pie! I added Sugar Free Hot Fudge on the bottom of the crust and crushed sugar free peanut butter cups with the peanuts to sprinkle on the top.

Made this pie for a church pot luck. Not even a crumb left. Used mini chips in the pie. GREAT! Next time I am going to try using crunchy peanut butter along with the mini chips for a different twist.

I had stopped making dessert for my husband because he never eats them.

Let me tell you, when I started making this, they all came running. Even the dog!

It was easy to make too.

It tastes just like eating a reese's --on a cloud my daughter said. It is rich though. We each only needed small pieces.

Had to modify the recipe. Measured everything correctly and even used less sugar but the mixture came out way too thick to fold topping into it (yes the cream cheese was room temp) ended up adding a little half and half. Used chocolate chips and a chocolate crust. Taste was ok, not a family favorite at our house.

I also used a chocolate cookie crust (made with 30 chips ahoy cookies and 1/4ish cup butter). It was easy and it turned out great! I would probably let it chill overnight to let it set up completely.

I made this for my mom's birthday in a kitchen with almost no supplies and it was quick and easy. I substituted a chocolate crumb crust and used mini chocolate chips on top instead of peanuts.
