More chocolate & peanut butter! It’s a wonderful combination! This one isn’t a baked dessert; it’s a freezer pie. Makes it great option if you’re hosting a party or want to bring a dessert to a potluck – you can make it days ahead of time, put it in the freezer and just pull it out when needed. That’s great for time management!
This recipe too makes a VERY full pie. In fact, you can double the pie ingredients and make 3 pies instead of 1. 3 times the pie at only 2 times the cost!

- Beat on medium speed until smooth and completely combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the Cool Whip and ¾ of the candy until combined.

Why do you torture me with such deliciousness! I do have one question though. What do you recommend for the best freezing method on this. It looks like it’s tough to get a tight cover on, and I’m pretty sure you don’t want to use a vacuum seal on it. So, if I make extra what’s the best way to freeze it for maximum freezer life? Thanks for linking up to the Sunshine Life Link Up again this week!
Plastic wrap! Then foil! Nice and tight! This one, the pie crust came with a lid, so I use that, then the Saran Wrap, then foil. That’s another that next time I’ll double the recipe, but make 3 pies. Right now it makes for an almost too full pie which makes it a little harder than it needs to be to wrap!
