Never tried that...try using soda water instead of regular water. Works for Neiman Marcus cookies!

Here is my recipe...very light and fluffy...

1 9-inch baked pie shell (if you use a 8 in. you will have extra filling)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 5-oz package chocolate pudding mix
3 cups milk

Topping:
1 cup prepared whipped dairy topping
2 Tbsp. chopped peanuts
2 Tbsp. chocolate sprinkles


Combine powdered sugar and peanut butter, mixing well. Spread over bottom of baked pie shell. (If mixture is too stiff to spread, add a little warm water, 1 tsp. at a time). Prepare chocolate pudding according to package directions, using milk. Pour pudding over peanut butter layer and chill in refrigerator until chocolate layer is set. Top with whipped dairy topping, chopped peanuts and chocolate sprinkles.
Makes about 8 servings

Great - thanks

Peanut butter pie is my weakness. I can pass up a lot of desserts but never peanut butter pie.

I'm more of a pecan pie person myself. I have family in Oklahoma! It's in the genes I guess!

I have never had chocolate in my peanut butter pie. It is worth a try, but I'm a purist when it comes to my pie.

This is my favorite recipe ever for peanut butter pie:
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1 9" pie shell, baked
Combine powdered sugar and peanut butter with a fork until mealy. Spread 3/4 of this mixture over the baked pie shell while it is still hot.
Filling recipe follows:
1/4 c. corn starch
2/3 c. sugar
2 c. milk, scalded
1/4 tsp. salt
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 T. butter
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Cook all ingredients on medium heat until thick. Pour into pie shell.
Beat 3 egg whites for meringue. Add 1/2 tsp. cream of tarter and add sugar to taste, about 1/8 - 1/4 cup.
Cover pie with meringue and sprinkle remaining peanut butter mixture on top.
Bake in a hot oven for a few minutes until the top is golden.
I usually make this in a 9 x 13 pan because it is so good, it never lasts. If you decide to make it in the 9 x 13 pan, double the recipe.

The chocolate is probably a touch of the south-of-the-border influence...a Left Coast-California kind of thing

Thanks.
