Chocolate Peanut Pie

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + cooling YIELD: 10 servings.
I entered this pie in our county fair, and it was selected grand champion. Who can resist a tempting chocolate crumb crust and a creamy filling with big peanut butter taste? Be prepared to take an empty pan home when you serve this pie at your next potluck. —Doris Doherty, Albany, Oregon
