Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Dessert

Tonight we are having a BBQ, and since we are hosting I am pretty much doing the cooking...including dessert.  My sweetheart has had a chocolate craving going on now for a week...sooo  I am making this dessert to satisfy his craving.  It is simple to prepare and goes together easily.  You just need to give it a couple hours in the refrigerator before serving.  This recipe was a Taste of Home winner recipe.
***NOTE: Put this in the freezer like an ice cream pie...really yummy!
