Excellent, excellent pie. I looked through a lot of recipes for this one; I really wanted a choc. p.b. pie that did not have a cookie or graham crust. This fit the bill and the layers made it extra special for company. The bottom layer is almost like peanut butter cup filling, with just a hint of cream cheese flavor. The top is very velvety smooth; good chocolate flavor but personally I'd like a deeper chocolate. I might try to add a little more cocoa next time. Another note: 1 2/3 cup p.b. chips is exactly one 10oz. bag.
