“I have a mad love affair with peanut butter pie, but some varieties are just too dense… I prefer mine a bit on the creamy side. A somewhat unassuming local bar/restaurant used to get the most fantastic pies made for them by a woman who lived nearby — light, fluffy, pure heaven! It was that heavenly pie that I was attempting to duplicate when I came up with this recipe. My fellow peanut butter lovers so far have given it rave reviews.” – Lori

“With 6 kids and a busy household to run, this was one of my Mama’s signature desserts and one of our family’s favorites. She made it so many times, I think it belonged to her and Duncan Hines! There are other versions that use a white or yellow cake mix, but it wouldn’t be the same for me without the pineapple cake inside.” – Melissa

“This recipe will make you slap the dog and spit on the fire. When I make these, they don’t last an hour in my house. Family and friends eat them right up and don’t even leave a crumb. I am always having people request these naughty, sweet, just too good not to share bars.” – Kim
