Peanut Butter Pie V

Submitted by Jellyqueen

"This is an adopted recipe, but it is just like the recipe my mother used for years. Hope you all enjoy. You can use smooth or chunky peanut butter, and it will make either one large deep dish pie or two shallow pies. Cook time is if you use a baked pie crust, otherwise the only time you need to allow is at least 2 hours of chill time."

This pie is delicious....I made it using an oreo cookie crust......I only had an 8 ounce container of cool whip, but it was still delicious....Thank you for posting!

This was so delicious my husband is a big fan of peanut butter and loved this pie. I decreased the amount of sugar to only half a cup and it still tasted wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this recipe we really do appreciate it.

WOW- what a pie- easy and incredibly rich. My Dad loves p-nut butter pie so, I made this for him on his b'day. I have made this pie several times now and it always goes over well with everyone. For extra pizzaz I double the filling and top with crumbled reeces p-nutbutter cups, then the whip cream and garnish with 1 more p-nut butter cup on top. None of the other pies got touched when this was on the table! Just make sure you take enough to go around and a copy of the recipe because someone always requests it!

This is wonderful. I used a chocolate crumb pie crust, and put chocolate shavings on top. Chocolate and peanut butter belong together!

Wow! What a great cool treat. I used 3/4c sugar and I found it to be plenty sweet, next time i make this I will cut back on the sugar even more. I did use a smaller amount of cool whip so maybe that affected the taste. I'll be making this one again. Thanks!
