    This Peanut Butter Pie only requires 6 ingredients and 15 minutes to make!!

    Peanut Butter Pie filling is rich and creamy and goes perfect atop a chocolate crust. We put some chopped peanuts on top to give it a little crunch.

    This 6 ingredient no bake Peanut Butter Pie features chocolate crust, Cool Whip, cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped nuts and of course, peanut butter.

    I bought some peanut butter at Aldi the other day. I usually switch back and forth from the generic brand and a name brand that I buy at Walmart.

    To me, the name brand tastes a little better than the generic, but I buy the generic more often because it is so much cheaper than the name brand I like.

    This 6 ingredient no bake Peanut Butter Pie features chocolate crust, Cool Whip, cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped nuts and of course, peanut butter.

    But I wanted to try Aldi’s store brand to see how it measured up because it is way cheaper than even the generic at Walmart.

    It tasted fine, but I knew right away that is wasn’t going to work for PB& J’s because the consistency was not spreadable. I mean this is some stiff peanut butter!

    This 6 ingredient no bake Peanut Butter Pie features chocolate crust, Cool Whip, cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped nuts and of course, peanut butter.

    So then I thought okay, I bet there are a ton of yummy things I can make out of peanut butter, and so begins this journey to make things using peanut butter.

    Of course, I bought the BIG container so I will be making peanut butter stuff until I start doing my Christmas baking. Good thing  I love peanut butter!

    This 6 ingredient no bake Peanut Butter Pie features chocolate crust, Cool Whip, cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped nuts and of course, peanut butter.

    I decided to put some chopped peanuts on the top of my Peanut Butter Pie to give it a little crunch. I am glad I did because I think it was a good addition. Some chocolate sauce drizzled over top would also give it another level of flavor.

    I left my pie in the refrigerator overnight and it set up nicely and was easy to cut and even get the first piece out.
