Peanut Butter Pie
"This peanut butter pie is just the right amount of creaminess. It is just the right amount of sweet and fluff to make this a pie that you will crave. At least I do.Normally, I don’t like peanut butter pie. Yikes! I know… They are generally too sweet, runny, grainy, or just don’t have a good peanut butter taste. Sounds like the mama bear, daddy bear, and baby bear bed. I guess that this one was just right-tried this one and it was an immediate hit for me."
NotesThe pie shown in the photo has the peanut butter pie filling in two regular pie crusts (pre-baked).
However, you can put this in a graham cracker, crushed Oreo, or a vanilla wafer crust. No matter which you choose, this pie filling is sure to taste great.
