Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Pie

Submitted by Lou6566

"My own creation,which is not only almost totally sugar-free, but lower in carbs. It's a wonderful, fattening tasting dessert which pleases even those who can have sugar! Tip: This dessert can also be layered in large dessert glasses, using the same layering as the pie, first layer is the 'crust', then pudding mix, topped with cool whip, drizzled with melted chocolate, and sprinkled with crushed peanuts."

I loved this! Instead of making a pie, I layered it in some pretty parfait glasses, and it was spectular! Very eye appealing, and every bit as delicious.I used regular ingredients instead of sugar free or low fat, altho I'm sure its just as good that way. If you are looking for a way to prepare an impressive dessert without a lot of work, this is it!
