Cover and cook 6 to 7 hours or until mixture is the color of peanut butter, stirring mixture with a wire whisk every 30 minutes. *Pour into graham cracker crust; cool. Spread whipped topping over top, and sprinkle with chopped candy bar. Cover and chill. Yield: 1 pie. **To reduce fat and calories, substitute 2 (14 oz) cans nonfat sweetened condensed milk for regular. NOTE: A 1 quart slow cooker has not LOW or HIGH setting, only OFF or ON setting.
