Peanut Butter Fudge Pie

MahnaMahna's Note:

This is a combination of a recipe Mom Meyer gave me and one I found on Zaar. The fudge layer adds some interest. I reduced the sugar and increased the peanut butter from other recipes. This is a good summer treat, and can be frozen for a while. Thaw at least a few hours before eating in the fridge or an hour before on the counter.

I love this recipe because of the fudge layer AND the increase of peanut butter. The other pies I have tried taste more like cheesecake with a hint of peanut. This pie TOTALLY stands alone!!! Oh and I used an oreo crust as well due to my chocolate addiction!!! Thanks so much for this recipe!! I am actually making another pie now to share with my church family tomorrow!!!

This is wonderful! I made my own hot fudge - Kahlua Fudge Sauce - and used light cream cheese, fat free cool whip, and skim milk - but you'd never know! Very rich! I also used an oreo crust instead of graham cracker. Drizzled with a little extra fudge sauce when serving. Thanks so much for sharing!

Five stars! Easy to make, and very delicious! Made it for Memorial Day. Family loved it. I could only eat a small piece due to the fact that it is very rich. Will make again. Used store bought hot fudge (warm it in the microwave for 15-30 sec to easily spread in crust).
