Ingredients

1 box refrigerated pie crust, such as pillsbury™, softened as directed on box
1 cup whipped peanut butter and chocolate flavored spread, such as jif® whips
5 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
1 egg
½ cup honey-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
coarse sea salt
1 cup caramel topping

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the pie crusts on a work surface. Spread the peanut butter chocolate spread over 1 pie crust to within ⅛-inch of the edge; sprinkle with bacon. Top with the remaining pie crust; press lightly into the filling.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and 2 teaspoons water until blended. In another small bowl, mix the peanuts and ½-teaspoon coarse sea salt. Brush the egg mixture evenly over the pie crust, and then sprinkle with the peanut mixture. With a pizza cutter or knife, cut 18 rows by 4 rows. Carefully place the fries 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake until golden brown, 14 to 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small microwavable bowl, microwave the caramel topping uncovered on High until warm, 30 to 50 seconds. Serve the warm caramel topping with the fries.
