I wanted to make something for my friend's birthday. She loves chocolate and peanut butter so this is what I made. It's very good and dangerous; tastes just like a Snickers bar.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you want an indulgent, and easy to make, dessert, try Lora's peanut butter custard brownie pie. It reminds us of a very popular candy bar. And who doesn't love a brownie crust? The dark chocolate brownie crust pairs nicely with the creamy peanut butter custard filling. With a hint of peanut butter flavor, the light and fluffy whip topping is a nice contrast to the crunchy chocolate chips and chopped nuts sprinkled on top. Yum!
