A very rich cake that looks and tastes like decadent junk food. I only used 2 cups of cool-whip in the filling so as not to dilute the peanut butter flavor. I stuck the finished cake in the freezer for about 3 hours before serving. The crust came apart a bit when cut, but it was tasty never the less. Husband loved it, rating it at five stars. I liked it a lot, but find that it's not my favorite, meriting around for stars. Overall, something I would do again.

Really great recipe. I've made this twice, and both times it turned out excellent. The first time I made it with the oreo crust. The recipe doesn't call for quite enough butter, so my pie turned out as a bit of a cobbler, but no complaints! The second time I used a store bought flour crust, which worked out well. I added an additional thin layer of chocolate and caramel on top of the baked crust before adding the filling, which turned out fantastic. Yum!

This is another recipe that the husband and father-in-law absolutely loved, but I thought it was just okay. Made exactly according to recipe. Here are my thoughts: 1. The little bit of cinnamon in the crust was delicious, but a bit strong maybe for some tastes, and I actually didn't think it was a good flavor combination with PB. Next time I would omit the cinnamon. 2. The crust was delicious, but should have been thicker. Next time I will increase by 1.5-2x. 3. It is definitely best served DIRECTLY FROM THE FREEZER. Even sitting in the fridge it softened a bit too much and the texture was too loose. In the freezer it becomes more firm, but not hard. 4. Because it should be served right out of the freezer, it's probably not good for potlucks or buffet style meals.

I (and my family) never eat sugar, so I had to change this slightly. First- I used a healthy oreo- sweetened with evaporated cane juice (New-Mans-Own) for the crust. Then I powdered evaporated cane juice with some cornstarch in my blender and that worked fine- to substitute for the confectionery sugar. I made my own whipped cream out of heavy whipping cream, honey and vanilla. I made my own chocolate sauce- easy easy! And my own caramel sauce from honey, butter and milk. For the peanut butter cups I purchased some healthy ones, (also New-Mans-Own) And also made some chocolate covered peanuts to go on top. It tasted soooooo good! Thanks a million! (I forgot one more thing) I don't have a spring form pan. So, I took my pan and cut a piece parchment paper the same size, and placed it in the bottom. Then I baked it and froze it. Then I put parchment paper around the edges of the pan and did the filling and froze it. Carefully i mean CAREFULLY did i then removed the crust and filling by tipping it onto my hand. then I removed the parchment paper and placed it on a plate. Then I did the topping part. I was a little more tricky than a spring-form pan- but I am amazed at how well it worked!! Must try- EVERYONE MAKE THIS PIE!!

Very good! I cut the powdered sugar to 1/2 cup because my husband doesn't like real sweet desserts. I cheated a little bit on the topping- instead of piping the whipped cream on top I used a can of extra creamy reddi-whip to do my piping. Worked beautifully! I also didn't add the sauces- just whipped cream and crumbled Reese's.

I took this to a party and received many compliments, everyone thought it tasted great. I didn't have caramel or chocolate syrup so I melted some chocolate chips and drizzled that over the top.
