Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookie Pie
"If you like chocolate and peanut butter, you will probably like this recipe. It is kind of like a Reeses, except our family thinks it is better because of the powdered sugar/peanut butter mixture and the cookie on the bottom. This dessert doesn't last very long at our house! The recipe was on the cover of the 1998 Pillsbury Quick and Easy Bake-Off."

Very good, but very sweet! Next time I might cut down on the peanut butter filling. -
Made this for a potluck at work. I am glad I got a piece because there wasn't any left over to take home. I left off the pecans and just topped it with a few decorative sprinkles to dress it up a bit. It was a big hit! Thanks! -
Wow wow wow!! This is awesome and way too easy! I made 1 and 1/2 times the filling for more peanut buttery taste and didn't use the pecans on top. So good and sooo delicious. Thanks for the recipe! -
I've made this twice in 2 weeks for birthdays!! Absolutely AMAZING!! so simple, yet so delicious. it tastes like an updated "buckeye!" I made this for one birthday, where I also made two other cakes, and this was by far the first to go!! The first time I made it, the chocolate on top cracked horribly after being chilled and I could barely cut it. ***This is what I did: Add 2 tablespoons shortening (I used crisco) to the chocolate chips when you melt them and then pour onto the peanut butter layer. Even after being chilled in the fridge, it was just barely soft, and cut perfectly! It was so much prettier :) Thanks for a GREAT recipe...I'll be making this very often! :) -
This was my son's birthday cake. Fabulous!
