liked. wanted to love but it was a bit too rich for me. got rave reviews from others who ate it for thanksgiving 2013. may try to use half of the cream cheese next time or no fat or sub with cool whip. also will try to make a homemade cookie crust that is at least twice as thick. thank you for something yummy and different!! :)

So easy! I made this for my son for his birthday and he ate the whole thing in two days. I never got to taste it, but he said it was the best pie I've made.

This is a really good pie! I made it as one of two dessert offerings for company and it was the first to go. I used my own graham cracker crust but will use an Oreo cookie crust the next time. Thank you fro sharing this yummy pie with us.

So yummy! My husband loves peanut butter, so any recipe I can find using peanut butter I usually try out. This one is super easy too! I left the topping off because my husband didn't want it.
