    Other Ways to Serve Buckeye Pie

    • Add some whipped topping or peanut butter cups or both to really dress it up!  Whipped topping will lighten your dessert up some and is absolutely delicious with this Buckeye Candy Pie.
    • Could also add colorful sprinkles on top,  if you want to make this peanut butter chocolate pie festive for birthdays, holidays.
    • Make ½ of the ganache recipe and leave a 1 inch border around the pie when adding the ganache so it's only covering the middle of the pie or drizzle chocolate back and forth across the pie for less chocolate ganache on top.
    • Add some chopped nuts on top of the pie for some added crunch and nuttiness.
    • Sprinkle some sea salt on top of the chocolate.  Oh my....Yes I went there!
