I would definitely reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the peanut butter mixture. It was very hard and crumbly, and didn’t meld well with the chocolate layer. I did reduce the amount of milk to get a thicker pudding automatically (as I knew 2 cups of milk would not be solid enough from experience).
Made these for Christmas dessert and it was oh so delicious. I did as others suggested and cut down the sugar to 2 cups and the milk down to 1-1/2 cups, and it worked perfectly. I used an Oreo crust for one pie, and a chocolate graham cracker crust for the other–the Oreo crust was by far the best. I made both pies the night before, which made the consistency perfect.
Cut down the sugar to 1.75 cups, the milk down to 1.5 cups and mixed softened cream cheese in with the peanut butter mixture to make it more creamy in consistency to be more palatable with the pudding. Oreo crust. Crushed skor bar for the top. 5 stars.
This was so good–everyone loved it and it received rave reviews! It was so easy to make that I felt guioty about saying I actually made it! I used less confectionaers sugar, and topped it off with a spread of cool whip and salty peanuts. Yum!
