Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 450°F. Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press crust firmly against side and bottom. Cut star shapes or other desired shapes from second pie crust. Attach to the edge of pie crust in pie plate with beaten egg; brush tops of shapes with beaten egg. Prick bottom and side with fork. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Cool.
  • 2 Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Arrange bacon slices on ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake about 15 minutes or until bacon is crisp and brown. Drain on paper towels. Crumble into small bite-size pieces. Reserve half of the bacon pieces for garnish.
  • 3 Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat evaporated milk, chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sugar to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla; set aside.
  • 4 In large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter and 1/2 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gently stir in whipped topping until combined.
  • 5 Spread 1/2 cup chocolate sauce over cooled crust. Sprinkle half of the bacon pieces over chocolate sauce. Slice banana and arrange over bacon pieces. Spread cream cheese-peanut butter filling over bacon pieces. Drizzle 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce over filling. Sprinkle remaining bacon pieces over top of pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

In my opinion there was too much chocolate sauce. I put 1/2 cup on the crust and then put 1/2 cup on the top of the pie. I had about 1 cup of chocolate left over. Why so much chocolate of you are only going to use 1 cup????? J haven't tasted it yet but I'm sure that it is yummy....

I'm all for the bacon and peanut butter combo, but the list of ingredients for this pie is totally ridiculous. If I'm going to splurge on that kind of caloric intake, I can guarantee you it won't be on this pie.

I must have done something wrong because this pie was awful. The filling didn't set up and it was super sweet....didn't like it at all and won't make it again...Sorry

I agree with 1000 calories a slice being too much, but you can make a few small changes to cut the calories almost in half. Replace the sugar with Splenda, replace the original Cool Whip with the fat free version, and cut your pie into 12 slices. The calorie count drops to 600. If you still want the bigger slices, you can still drop 100 over 100 calories a slice by making the substitutions. I think you can buy fat free evaporated milk too.

OMG - all I had to do is look at the calorie count, and I won't be making this. maybe if there were a "short-cut" version of this with not so many bad calories...
