Peanut butter is a staple in our house, especially for Stephanie! I have been making this pie for years and it always meets with oohs and aahs at parties and family events.

Yum, oh yum! This pie is creamy peanut butter goodness. We taste-tested the recipe with a chocolate crust and we highly recommend the chocolate/peanut butter combination. In this pie, you have a creamy peanut butter filling with a layer of fluffy cream on top, sprinkled with chopped salted peanuts for crunch and a hint of salt to compliment the sweetness. Simple and quick to make, this pie is completely unpretentious, yet completely delicious.
