Peanut Butter Pie

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Additional Time: 4 hours

Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Silky-smooth peanut butter filling piled into a buttery, crumbly crust—this pie is pure creamy decadence. Each bite melts luxuriously, with just the right salty-sweet punch, while chocolate drizzle and crunchy peanuts add the perfect contrast. Cool, velvety, and dangerously spoonable, it’s the kind of dessert that makes you sneak ‘just one more bite’... until the whole pie disappears.
