Peanut butter pie is a classic dessert that tastes great, but doesn’t always make you feel great after indulging. Ditch the overly processed version and make your own at home with just a few ingredients that come together to create the smooth-and-fluffy pie you know and love – but better! Opt for a simple, three-ingredient homemade pie crust (below) or choose store-bought if you’re in a pinch!
For an extra-special treat, melt extra peanut butter and chocolate chips over the stove or in the microwave and drizzle on top.
