We did like this pie and it really is rather guilt free, no cream or butter there. Chocolate and peanut butter is a marriage made in heaven, but maybe that absence of sinful fats made this pie just a little heavy and gluey textured. All that chocolate did not help to make it mouth melting and sweet enough.
