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 one of my family's favorites! I will never again make any other peanut butter pie.

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!
