Chocolate Pie with a Twist

I usually keep at least one graham cracker crust and a box of instant pudding in the cabinet for a "fast" dessert. With just a small "twist" you can turn a simple chocolate pie into something great. NEED: 1 pre-made graham cracker crust 1 box of instant chocolate pudding 3 heaping serving spoons of peanut butter - I use chunky whipped topping - optional The crust is ready....save the top...if you turn it over its the perfect cover for the pie. Take 3 heaping serving spoons of peanut butter and place it in a microwave save dish and heat..just until "loose". If you do not have a microwave you can warm in in a dish over a pot of hot water. You need to warm the peanut butter because it will tear the graham cracker crust if you try to spread it while its cold. Place the peanut butter in the crust. Make the pudding, according to directions and pour over the peanut butter. Place in the fridge until chilled. At least one hour. You can use canned whipped cream, a tub of whipped cream or dream whip. I serve mine on the side but you can cover the pie, if you wish. To me, this tastes like a Reese' s Cup. ENJOY!
