Peanut butter pie!

My grandfather loved peanut butter and peanuts. When I was a kid and we visited relatives in Florida we always had to stop and get some boiled peanuts and a water melon. He always had peanuts on hand to eat. He liked the ones with the skin on still.  I know he would have loved this pie.

Peanut Butter Pie

As usual I didn't measure anything I just went on a word of mouth recipe. This pie is easy to make and inexpensive yet fancy enough to empress.

You need...

1 to 2 cups of powdered sugar

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter(more or less)

1gramcracker pie crust

1big box of vanilla pudding

whip cream

Now all you do is mix the powdered sugar with the peanut butter till it is the color of brown sugar. It should be like crumbs. So start with the powdered sugar and then gradually add the peanut butter and mix, mix, mix.

After your pie crust is ready to fill and cool, if you baked it with a coat of egg white, add a little less than 1/2 of the peanut butter crumbs to the bottom, spread out to about a 1/2 to 1 inch thick.

Then mix up the pudding, follow the pie filling recipe which has less milk, and pour on top of the crust. Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow the pudding to set up.

About an hour later place the remaining peanut butter crumbs on top of the pudding being careful not to smash down.

Then just top that with some whip cream and your done.

Eat up yum!

I could see making this with all sorts of variations. You could add bananas and call it the Elvis pie. You could use a chocolate crust and call it a peanut butter cup pie. You could use any different flavor pudding. Bottom line this pie was easy and yum!
