So....I have this lovely hot mama veganish friend, Alison, who recently prepared the most scrumptious chocolate pie. It has a fancy name but what you really need to know is that it's chocolate AND it's pie. Now, DO NOT let the tofu scare you (see her pie post here). It is the most delectable pie I've ever had. So much so, I full on copied her and served it up to my family this past Memorial Day Weekend. Along with the original version (served with her mixed berry sauce) I made a second pie, adding about 2/3 cup of peanut butter to the pie mixture. I did this to appease my husband who needs a little help to appreciate "The Chocolate". It turned out the peanut butter was a hit! I also sprinkled chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (RPC) on top to give it some flare. As my sister was quick to point out, the addition of the RPC will make the pie UN-vegan ( and possibly the pie crust I used, see below.)

| I used a store-bought Nilla Wafer pie crust ... my anxiety took over and I was worried I'd run out of time before my guests arrived. I had planned on using almonds, raisins, and maple syrup to construct the crust (as suggested in Alison's post) but that will have to wait for another time. |
