Peanut Butter Chocolate Mud Pie

---

This is the best peanut butter pie i have ever tried. my brother-in-law works in a bakery, and developed this. It is rich enough, you can only have a small sliver. Well worth cheating on the diet. I usually double the recipe and put it into a glass rectangle pan.
