Creamy Peanut Butter Pie

Creamy+Peanut+Butter+Pie

If you’re a fan of peanut butter cups, you’re going to love this peanut butter pie recipe. I’ve always loved my pies with a graham cracker crust, creamy peanut butter filling, and a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Even adding Reese cups and whipped cream to top it off will send your tastebuds into heaven.
