"My mother shared this recipe with me years ago. I don't know the origin, but after searching other peanut butter pie recipes I found nothing like it. The pie crust along with the crumbled peanut butter on the bottom are a big surprise."

  1. I tried this recipe, and it was light but full of peanut butter flavor. Other PB pie recipes are literally a jar of peanut butter in a pie crust. This is subtle and delightful. Thanks!
