Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie

Carnival of recipes this week is celebrating their 100th Anniversary Celebration.

On such a grand occasion I thought something special was called for, and nothing is better (in my estimation) than chocolate and peanut butter.

I did not want to make this pie just to take a picture, because I would have to eat it all and I already ate more than enough on vacation, so stole, errr, borrowed a picture from:www.hoodhomedelivery.com
