Differently Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Extremely simple to make. The chocolate crust just pulls the whole pie together. It's just to die for. After I tried it... myself I made it as Christmas Gifts to my friends and family. They love it tooRead more

we love this pie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

At first I thought this may be a bit hard for me to make-well, I did and after making it only one time and my family and... friends loved it. It is an easy pie to make. I have changed it a few times and used gingerbread cookies for the crust-super combo with the pepermint--real nice for the holidays! Thank you Paula!!Read more

Not a Hit!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was skeptical after reading the mixed reviews on this one, but thought I would give it a try. I did buy the correct... peppermint candy. This is the first Paula Dean recipe I have made that was not fantastic! Everything lacking here...flavor, consistency. Would not make again. Best part was the pre-made chocolate crust!Read more

Easy and tasty, but ...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Dont let the mixture cool too much, or it is very sticky. I used low fat cool whip and it worked fine. I would be very... interested in some variation which uses peppermint oil/extract, powdered sugar, and food coloring instead of the candys.Read more
