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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
