Pie Recipes #235 - Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie with Bananas

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIE
Thanks to Marilyn for submitting this latest pie recipe - this one has the addition of bananas. As usual, if you prefer, you can always use whipped fresh cream instead of Cool Whip in this recipe. :) Yum...and the Oreo crust option sounds especially delightful!

Chocolate crust
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 medium bananas, sliced
2 packages Instant Chocolate Pudding & Pie Filling
1-1/2 cups Cool Whip
3 cups milk

Use a 9 inch prepared chocolate crumb crust. Or make one by crushing 22 Oreo cookies and then mixing the crumbs with 1/4 cup melted margarine or butter - then press firmly on bottom and sides of pie plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spread 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter over bottom of crust. Arrange slices of 2 medium bananas over peanut butter. Beat pudding mix and milk with mixer on low for 1 minute. Pour pudding over bananas. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Top with Cool Whip. Garnish as desired.
