Buckeye Pie image

It's unbeatable: The Buckeye's combination of salty-sweet peanut butter and rich chocolate is so good, we couldn't stop ourselves from making it into a pie. With a crust made of Betty Crocker™ double chocolate chunk cookies and a creamy peanut butter filling, it delivers on all the classic flavor, and it even has the looks to match. The chocolate ganache topping is a perfectly appropriate nod to the chocolate-dipped look of the candy. Surprise the chocolate-peanut butter lovers in your life with this new take on an old favorite!
