Cool and Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Delicious!

This chocolate peanut butter pie goes together really fast if you are in a hurry (just use pre-packaged pie crust, etc), but is still super easy to make from scratch.

1 Flakey Pie Crust Recipe

1 package instant vanilla pudding

1/2 c milk

1 1/4 c heavy cream

2/3 c creamy peanut butter

1 c chocolate chips

1 carton Cool Whip

6 Reese’s peanut butter cups

1/4 c roasted peanuts

Make the Flakey Pie Curst Recipe and blind bake until done.  Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Heat 1/4 c heavy cream until steaming but not boiling and pour over the 1 c of chocolate chips.  Allow to sit for a few minutes then whisk until smooth (you may need to heat for 20 seconds in the microwave to get all the chips melted – DO NOT OVER HEAT).
