Category: Pies - Miscellaneous

1 (9 inch) pastry shell, baked, cool
2 Eggs
1 unflavored gelatin envelope
1/4 cup cold water
6 (1 1/2 oz) Snickers Bar, chopped
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup unsifted confectioners sugar
1 tsp cocoa
3 tbsp evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Salted peanuts, chopped
Sweetened whipped cream

Separate the eggs. Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small saucepan and let stand until softened, about 4 minutes; dissolve over very low heat, stirring.

Melt candy bars in top of double boiler over simmering water; add peanut butter and blend with a wooden spoon until smooth; cool.

Beat cream cheese with 2 egg yolks thoroughly; gradually add confectioners sugar, beating well. Blend in cocoa, evaporated milk, vanilla, candy bar mix and then the dissolved gelatin; mix all well. Chill until partially thickened, stirring one or two times.

Stifly beat the room temp egg whites with the salt; fold into chilled mix, then fold in the whipped heavy cream; turn into cooled pastry shell and chill until firm. Decorate with chopped peanuts and additional whipped cream if desired.
