Chocolate & Peanut Butter Mix Perfectly In This Dessert!

Who doesn’t love the taste of chocolate and peanut butter together?  It’s absolutely delicious, right?  Well, I’m happy to have found a dessert that’s easy and quick to put together and contains this divine flavour combination.  It’s called Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie from Examiner.com.  There are four layers that only take minutes to prepare.  First is the nutty crust that you must bake for 20 minutes (that’s the only baking you’ll need to do).  Then there’s a layer of peanut butter cream cheese, followed by a pudding layer, then topped with Cool Whip and nuts.  This is best served chilled which makes it an amazing dessert for summertime.  Enjoy!
