Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy this pie on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Garnish each slice with a NILLA Wafer just before serving.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm BAKER'S Chocolate slightly by heating it, unwrapped, in the microwave for a few seconds until you can just smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily between thumb and fingers of one hand and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of chocolate. Allow a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom. This will make long, delicate curls. Make short curls using the same technique on the narrow sides of the square. To arrange curls on a dessert, use a toothpick to lift them into place.

I made this for Easter and it went over very good. Everyone thought it was excellent. I had a problem with melting the peanut butter and chocolate, would recommend that you microwave it 1 min. at a time as my microwave was too hot to melt the choc. and it burned. I had to start over and and throw the first batch out. But it turned out well when i melted it 1 min. at a time. Will definately make this again. Thanks.

I didn't use the Nilla Vanilla cookies for the crust, I just used a store bought graham cracker crust which made it that much easier. It was delicious - my family has already voted it in as an Easter dessert - very easy and tastes great!!

My husband loved this pie! I took my mother & father-in-law some and they called me within a half-hour to ask me to make one again for Easter dinner. It's very easy. Make ahead for Easter.
