Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR PIE
1 pie crust, bought or homemade; personally I make mine
1 large box of cook and serve chocolate pie mix; 5 oz.
3 c milk
1 handful of plain flour, about 1/4 cup
3 large tablespoons dry cocoa drink mix, about 1/3 cup
1/4 c liquid chocolate drink mix
1/2 large Hershey's chocolate candy bar
FOR MERINGUE
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
6 Tbsp sugar
FOR TOPPING
1 large or 3 or 4 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups cups, frozen

Steps:

1. Prepare pie crust (homemade or frozen, your choice) and bake.
2. In large saucepan, add all the rest of the ingredients for the pie. Using a whisk, stir constantly and cook until real thick.
3. Remove and add to your pie crust.
4. Using a metal bowl, add your egg whites (I use 4 for a better meringue) and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar.
5. Using a mixer, beat until stiff. As you beat the whites, add 6 tablespoons of sugar, a little at a time, beating all of the time.
6. When you get this done, add meringue to the top of your pie.
7. Take a frozen Reese's cup and shave it all over your pie meringue.
8. Brown in the oven.
9. I set mine at about 375 degrees, turning occasionally, for even brownness.
