I don't make this pie very often since I have a daughter with a peanut allergy, but I started making it a long time ago. Quick to make and the classic peanut butter and chocolate combination. I like to top it with Oreo pieces or chocolate chips to add some texture to the smooth pie, but you can choose your favorite garnishes.
