I have been making this pie since it won the pie championship on the foodnetwork..... it's one of my family's favorites..... I use pecan sandies instead of the normal shortbread cookies and that's the only difference.

I don't know why they rated this an "intermediate" recipie. Its ridiculously easy compared to other pie recipies where you make your own crust. I also believe that there is a mistake in Layer Two of the recipie. Try using only 2 cups of whipped topping(instead of the 4 cups called for like in Layer One and notice the improvement in flavor. Much more balanced and chocolatey!

Also, easy on the butter when making the crust. Don't add it all at once. Follow these two changes and you'll have a winner on your hands.

This didn't quite have the flavor I was expecting, but I gave it 5 stars because the 5 other people that I served it too all loved it. It was really easy to make. I think it got an "intermediate" rating because of the chocolate melting part. I did read the reviews ahead of time, and started with less butter. I used 1/2 cup instead of 2/3 cup and, wow! It was still too much butter. I used Sandies shortbread cookies, and maybe that particular brand already has a lot of butter in it I'm guessing. Either way, do NOT just follow the butter instructions. Start with less and add more if you have to. I also used the 1/3 less fat cream cheese, and it was still plenty rich. I'll definitely make it again, because it was so simple, there was no baking and everyone loved it, but I think I want to look for something with a little more flavor in it.

I was so anxious to try this as it looked so good on TV. We found it to have way too much whipped topping for our taste and much to my surprise didn't really have much flavor. Personal taste I guess.

Have made this pie twice - turns out great and is soooo good! Rich and yummy - just the right combination of choc and peanut butter - and I LOVE the sandies cookies for the crust. I think this pie is wonderful, and it's really great that I can make it ahead.

Fixed this for a Cattle Branding crew
They all rated it good. I had many requests for the Recipe. Takes some time to make but well worth it.

I watched the pie cookoff last weekend on the Food network. I love cheesecake of all sorts and was anxious to try this recipe because it sounded so good. I was kind of suprised at the amount of whipped topping that was in the ingredients, it seemed like a lot. I did make the pie according to the recipe and found it to be very bland and ordinary and this is no offence to the winner of the contest but this is just my personal opinion. The pie crust with the pecan shortbread crust reminded me of one of Paula Deen's that i love. "Not Yo Mama's banana pudding", which I love and so does my family.

It has a strong peanut butter and cream cheese taste. It was eaten within one day! It melts in your mouth and is very simple even though it is medium.
