Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Hi friends!  In celebration of Pi Day (3-14) here is a recipe for a pie (not pi) that I made a few hours ago.  It has yet to be tried, but it's chocolate and peanut butter, so it really can't be bad.  I got the recipe from allrecipes.com.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter
    • $5.55 for 40 ounces
  • 3/4 cup butter
    • $1.50 for a tub of margarine
  • 3 cups confectioners' (powdered) sugar
    • $1.50 for 6 or 8 cups
  • 2 8-inch graham cracker crusts
    • each is around $1.50
  • 2 cups milk
    • 1 gallon is $2.50
  • 1 3.9-ounce package of chocolate pudding
    • $.69
  • 1 8-ounce container whipped topping
    • $1
Utensils/Dishes:
  • A microwave safe bowl
  • Another bowl
  • A spoon (or two)
Total Cost: $6.75

Pies made: 2

Cook time: 15 minutes

Directions:

This is really easy.  First put the butter and peanut butter in the microwave safe bowl and melt them (10 or 20 seconds should do it).  Then mix them together.  Follow this by adding the sugar, one cup at a time and mixing in between additions of sugar.  It should be a firm-ish consistency.  Scoop half of this into each of the pie crusts.  Now mix the milk and chocolate pudding together.  When they are well homogenized, split the mixture evenly between the two pies.  Put into the refrigerator.

When you get it out to serve, add the whipped topping.  The end!  I hope it's good!
