This recipe is always a winner in my family... There are three layers:
CHOCOLATE PEANUT PIE
Layer #1: pie shell 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers 1/4 cup butter melted 1/3 cup chopped peanuts (or if you are in a hurry a ready-made choc.cookie crust is fabulous)
Layer #2 4 oz cream cheese softened 3 tbs. peanut butter 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar 1 cup non dairy whipped topping, thawed 1 banana thinly sliced
Layer # 3 1 (4 oz) pkg. instant chocolate pudding 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 tsp. coffee (we omit-don't like coffee flavored sweets) 1 tablespoon rum (optional-we use vanilla) 1 cup whipped topping , thawed 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped peanuts, grated chocolate, OR fudge sauce
combine crumbs, butter, and nuts press mixture into a 9 inch buttered pie plate-bake for 10 minutes at 350*-cool (or get ready made crust)
beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered suger until blended. fold in thawed topping and mix well. spread evenly over cooled crust. lay banana slices on top and refrigerate.
prepare pudding according to directions, add coffee and rum blending well. spread evenly over cold pie. cover with remaining whipped topping and peanuts. cover refrigerate overnight.
before serving garnish with shaved chocolate OR fudge sauce
Hope you can wait overnight! I have to make it and hide it under a plaete of broccoli and cauliflower (eaten but not liked at our house)
