Things are hard, but unfancy peanut butter pie is not. It is comforting and steady and joy-bringing. It will see us through.

Oreo Crust Vs. Graham Cracker Crust

You really could go either way here. Both are really good, really solid crust options. With the peanut butter mixture, we just lean a liiiiitle bit more towards the chocolatey Oreo crust to let the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter sing together.

Variations On This Peanut Butter Pie

You could very easily make this your own. Maybe some chopped peanuts on top? Reese’s Pieces candy bits crushed up in the peanut butter filling? Hot fudge drizzles? Okay, we’re here for all of this. Our Mocha Peanut Butter Pie from the archives is a fancy step up, but equally as delicious as this pie

For the rest of us, love live the simple joys of eating peanut butter pie for days!
