Next time around, try using a purchased chocolate cookie wafer crust.

Pie baking can be even easier when you use Pet-Ritz® frozen pie crusts. Find them in the freezer case with a precrimped edge, ready to use. The disposable pan makes clean up a snap.

My family enjoys this recipe. I also make a variation with an Oreo crust. I then put 1/2 of a carton of Snicker ice cream in the crust, add a layer of chopped Snickers candy bars, drizzle with the caramel and hot fudge sauce, rest of the ice cream and then drizzle the top with more caramel and fudge sauces. Both pies are excellent on a hot summer day!
Try making this with a crushed ice cream cone crust ~ just crush sugar cones as you would graham crackers add melted butter & chill ~ Yummmm!!


Good recipe. However to take it from Good To Great, try using an oreo cookie crust, and also, layer the hot fudge on top of the peanuts in the middle of the pie. I did it only with the fudge, but maybe both fudge and caramel would work too. I got excellent reviews on this.
