Who likes chocolate?
Who likes peanut butter?
(If you have not had you hand raised for the duration of this short questionaire... shame on you!)
I thought to myself, what's the best kind of cookie to put in a pie crust. I love my fair share of Grahams, but let's be honest, if an oreo and a graham were in a boxing ring, the oroe would win, hands down. Besides, grahams have none of that creamy white filling.
The creamy white filling seals the deal.
Then what to fill that dreamy pie crust with?
I was caught between chocolate and peanut butter, then i thought: "Heck, let's try both."
If peanut butter and chocolate had a baby, it would be this pie crust. And if you gat a little bit of each in every heavenly mouthful, you will never ever desire another pie ever again.
possibly.

24 Oreo cookies
1/4 cup butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place Oreos in a food processor until finely groud, like coarse sand. The filling should resemble moist crumbs. Empty crumbs into a mixing bowl and stir in melted butter until well combined. Pat wet crumbs all over and up sides of pie dish, making an even surface. Bake crust for 8-10 minutes or until hardened. Cool before filling.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Filling
1 pie shell prepared and baked
Crunchy Peanut Butter, to taste
2 cups milk, any (I used 1%)
3 egg yolks, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
5 tbsp flour
3 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp butter, chopped
1 tsp vanilla
Add a thick layer of peanut butter to the base of the pie crust. Combine milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt, flour, and cocoa in a cold saucepan. Stir thoroughly to combine. Turn heat to medium, stir constantly until thick but do not boil. Once thick, remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla. Let mixture cool slightly and pour into baked pie shell. Chill before serving.
