Who can resist luscious chocolate and peanut butter paired up in a pie?  Reduced-fat and sugar-free ingredients lighten up the dessert without slicing into its satisfying flavor.  When I take this pie to gatherings, I always get an empty pie plate and lots of compliments in return.   * This recipe is Diabetic Friendly! *
