This has to be the ultimate mousse pie! I love the combination of caramel, peanuts and chocolate. This recipes combines all three into a sweet, velvet mousse pie– much like the consistency of a Burger King Hersheys Chocolate pie! But this is sugar free so its almost good for you right?
While the recipe is a little time heavy having to wait for things to set I promise it is worth it! Let me know what you think of it!
