The idea of this is great, but the execution was not so great in my mind. The textures don't really mesh together too well - the pie crust, brownie, and fluffy top layer just feel weird in your mouth. The pie crust I think is completely unnecessary and doesn't add anything. Also, the topping tasted a whole lot more like cream cheese than peanut butter to me.

This is a Great recipe. I did alter the ingredients some as I did not have all the ingredients or right amounts. Some cooks said the brownie bottom was to thick. So i had 2 frozen ready made pie crusts i poured 1 box of preped brownie mix into both crusts evenly cooked as specified and cooled. I used 2 containers of whipped topping and only 1 package of cream cheese. 1 cup of the sugar and 1 cup of peanut butter. I did not add the nuts or candied chips. I had Mini Peanut butter cups and chopped them up and topped off the pies. It came out great. The different layers make for a great tasting pie. Thanks for posting :D

Pretty good. Actually did not make it in a pie crust and it came out good, maybe just messier. Sprinkled pb chips and choc chips on top.

This pie was a hit with my chocolate and peanut butter lovers. I added some chopped reesie's peanute butter cups to the brownie mix. I chopped candied peanuts and sprinkled them on the top. Perfect!

This was AMAZING!!! I could not find the type of brownie mix it called for so I just used a Betty Crocker brand that baked at the same temp and time as the pie crust did so I did not have to worry about folding the foil over the pie crust edge. I read reviews before making this, and I added a half cup more of peanut butter in the filling because my brother is a peanut butter nut. He added a whole bag of peanut butter chips to the top! It was very good. Highly recommend for peanut butter lovers!!

I made this for Thanksgiving. It was a crowd pleaser for sure. I did not put peanut butter cups in the brownie mix and I just fudge brownie mix. I wanted to me smooth and it was great. It was a little weird to pure a brownie mix in a pie crust but.........it was NOT overly sweet or peanut buttery
