Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie

My Stonewall Kitchen Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pie!

Most of you know that I make a lot of pies, and I spend a lot of time in Maine at our cottage.  One of my favorite stops is Stonewall Kitchen in York.  On a recent trip, I came across one of their recipe cards for Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie . . . well, I stopped dead in my tracks!  I knew I had to make this!  I knew it would be a hit!  One of the things I admire most about stopping at Stonewall Kitchen is you can sample just about every product in the store - and when I sampled the Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce I was sold!  This pie would be a winner!

I immediately thought I'd make this pie for a recent family get together.  When my 4 of my 5 nieces heard I was bringing this pie they ALL turned up their noses . . . HOWEVER . . . when they tried a slice they said it was amazing!  In fact, one of them brought back 2 slices back to college with her! 

I will tell you that this pie is extremely rich, and a nine inch pie will usually feed 6 to 8 people, however this pie will feed 12 - easily.  

Bake, eat and enjoy!
