Description
I made this recently it is *sooooooo* good, it's like a frozen reese's peanut butter cup 🙂 if you are a lover of peanut butter and chocolate you will love this! It has a chocolate layer spread over the crust, then a creamy peanut butter/cream cheese middle, then topped off with chocolate drizzle, you could double the amount for the chocolate topping which i did do but found that it was too much for my liking, if you like lots of topping then go ahead and double, remove this pie from the freezer about 15 minutes before slicing, i think this pie could also be served from the refrigerator and not frozen 😉
