Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the chocolate cookies by hand. Place the cookies in a large ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs.
  • To make sure the pie crust is firm, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Don't overbeat the peanut butter mixture. Overbeating can cause the mixture to become too stiff.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the peanut butter mixture onto the pie crust.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the pie to set properly.
