It's no secret that chocolate and peanut butter are one of my favorite combinations, it's one of my hubby's too. In fact, it's a favorite combo of the majority of my family, I mean really, what's not to love? We had a special occasion a few weeks ago and I couldn't decide what to make. I knew I wanted to use chocolate and peanut butter because my uncle goes crazy over it but I just couldn't decide which recipe to go with. Finally, I settled on my own version of Brown Eyed Baker's Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte. Right away I knew I had to change it up because I don't have a spring form pan anymore because mine kept leaking and I tossed it. So first up I was making it in a deep dish pie pan. Second I wasn't really crazy about the idea of using nutmeg and cinnamon in a peanut butter pie so I created my own spin-off recipe based on hers.
The pie was a huge hit and as I thought my uncle went crazy over it, claiming his piece wasn't large enough. It was an all around win and I think I may have just found a new staple in my dessert repertoire.
