Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie

internetnut's Note:

"Rich" and "Fluffy" with less fat and fewer calories, but still pure decadence any way you slice it. I found this in Ladies' Home Journal magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. I plan to lighten this up more by using sugar free Oreo's and chocolate chips, homemade marshmallows and sweetened condensed milk, all natural peanut butter and Splenda.
