This pie is truly unique. It is very flavorful, rich, creamy and you are sure to have bananas with every bite. You'll love the crunchy vanilla wafer crust too. It is not a strong taste of peanut butter but rather more spicy with cinnamon, rum and nutmeg. If I get a better description I will add it. LOL...I am at a loss of words because it is so different. My husband & I really enjoyed it and tomorrow my parents and family will be trying it as well. I will let you know what they say. A great addition to any festivities that you may have. This is another recipe from a Christmas cookbook that I have.
