"lighter" Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

gingersnap's Note:

This recipe is actually a combination of a few different recipes in my cookbook collection. It seems to be everyon'e favorite and I get a lot of requests for it but it is so easy. I have also made this with white chocolate pudding and a chocolate crust. Enjoy!

• 11 ounces skim milk
• 1 (3 ¼ ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 ready made shortbread pie crust
• ¼ cup chopped peanuts
• 1 ounce chocolate , chopped (I like to use a bittersweet, like Lindt)

Directions:

1. Mix the 4 tablespoons of milk with the peanut butter (mixture will be thick).
2. Stir in container of cool whip.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk 11 oz. of milk with the pudding for 2 min.(mixture will be thicker than regular pudding).
4. Fold the cool whip mixture into the pudding.
5. Spoon mixture into shortbread crust.

7. Chill for 4 hours.
