I made this one evening for my husband just for sentimental purposes. He immediately knew what I was up to because once he saw it, he started laughing. Our sons looked at him as if they were asking whether their father was still sane enough to take care of them. We enjoyed eating this smooth cake along with our kids. This pie recipe a family dessert that you can serve to your friends or other guests!

2 ounces Baker’s german baking chocolate
2 ounces Baker’s baking chocolate
handful (or about 1/4 cup) Toll House peanut butter chips
1 cup unsalted Land O Lakes Butter, Softened

1 teaspoon McCormick Vanilla Extract
4 whole Eggland’s Eggs

In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups of white sugar until fluffy (about 1 to 2 minutes).
When melted chocolate is cooled (it should be stirrable but not hot, drizzle it over the butter/sugar mixture.
Add vanilla.
Beat the mixture thoroughly until combined using the whisk attachment
Turn your mixer to a medium speed and over a period of 15 to 20 minutes add in the four eggs, one at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition.
continue mixing for 3-4 minutes until completely smooth. (ALWAYS on medium. do not increase the speed. mixing too quickly or adding the eggs too quickly will ruin the consistency and make the pie runny)
Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shell
