Chocolate Peanut Butter Silk Pie

Dark chocolate and creamy natural peanut butter were meant to be together in this amazing pie. Skip the crust for an equally decadent pudding. If you're lucky enough to have a double broiler, melt your chocolate in that. If not, use a small pot or glass bowl that can fit over a small saucepan of boiling water to melt chocolate. Don't melt chocolate directly in a pan as it's very easy to scald.
