I entered this pie in our county fair, and it was selected Grand Champion. Who can resist a tempting chocolate crumb crust and the creamy filling with big peanut butter taste? Be prepared to take an empty pan home when you serve this pie. —Doris Doherty, Albany, Oregon

This pie is so rich and delicious.Ithink the heavy cream gives it its richness.I melted chocolate and put over the top of the pie when it was cool and it made it even better.

Great recipe! To save time, I've bought 'shortbread' crust pie shells and then just created the filling. I've also used a tsp. of almond extract instead of the vanilla for a surprise. It's delicious!

I made this for my husband's birthday. We all really liked it. I couldn't find chocolate wafers so I used crushed teddy grams and they worked perfectly:)

I have been making this pie for years, ever since I was first introduced to Taste of Home. I get rave reviews every time. This recipe was even printed in our families cookbook of favorite recipes. It comes out perfect every time. You won't be disappointed!

I have made this pie for years, my grandsons demand it when they come home for the holiday or a vacation; I have used a ready made gramham cracker crust & whipped topping instead of whipped cream also chunky peanut butter (the boys like that best) & it tastes just at good & doesn't seen to have the fat/calories as the original recipe.

This has been my go to Peanut Butter Pie recipe since I first made it in 94. I just buy an oreo crust to make it easier. Its a great recipe!

This is my "go to" peanut butter pie. I have rave reviews every time I make it! This is what my family wants for their birthdays instead of cake!

I use lowfat cream cheese and lowfat peanut butter, but it doesn't change the tase one bit! I also buy the Oreo cookie crust instead of making it and grate Reese Cups on top before serving! DELICIOUS!!!

I used a regular pie crust, Neufchatel cheese, half the sugar and sprinkled some cut up Reeses's Peanut Butter Cups candy on the top. (I bet Butterfingers would be good, too!). It was DELICIOUS! My people loved it. Thanks for sharing!
