This is quick and easy and a good marriage of chocolate and peanut butter. The kids will go for it as well. For a variation, in place of pudding prepare with chocolate ice cream. It is also very good. Happy cooking, Gary

One bite of this chocolate pie with a peanut butter crust and you'll think you're eating one of those famous Girl Scout cookies. It's a super easy recipe that's perfect for kids to jump in on and lend a hand. Even though the Rice Krispies are crushed in the prep, you still get their crunch in each bite. Slices of the pie aren't the easiest to cut or the prettiest, but they're quite tasty.
