Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

I was offered a large ziploc bag of crushed chocolate graham crackers from a camp this summer.  I thought I would make a pie crust with them.  However thinking of the best compliment to that was a little tricky.  I began googling chocolate graham cracker crust and did not find that many recipes, mainly using oreos or regular graham crackers.

Finally I came upon this Peanut Butter Pie recipe that I thought would taste much better on a chocolate crust than regular pie crusts.  If you love peanut butter there is a good chance you love chocolate too.

I decided to add a little more indulgence by adding chocolate sauce over each slice.

The kids loved this.  I thought it could have used a little more peanut butter flavoring and this might have been a result of not having crunchy peanut butter.  Also I should have crushed the crumbs in the food processor a little finer than when I received them.  Feel free to use a pre made one from the grocery store!!

When making the crust it is helpful to use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to help spread the mixture.
