This pie is so good, rich, fattening, who cares! Since I am a peanut butter freak I added a tsp. of peanut butter extract, which I swear by anyway when baking anything with peanut butter.
with all the raves, i expected something exceptional. it was really easy to make and the ingredients are always on hand. pleased the kids and peanut butter fans.
This was awesome! And sooo easy! I double up on the recipe and freeze the pies so that when I am invited to go somewhere, all I have to do is pop a pie out of the freezer and defrost! This is a keeper!
Very easy to make and quite tasty. My brother turned up his nose while I was making this because he doesn’t like peanut butter. After convincing him to try just a little bite, he LOVED it! Will be making this again.
Really good pie! I made this tonight and it was a hit. I used Oreo pie crusts instead of the graham cracker crust. I also melted some semi-sweet chips and drizzled it on top. This is a great recipe and I will make again.

Carefully cut each Reese’s cups in half and place on the cake, you will need 3 or 4 packages of individually wrapped Reese’s cups. This will be easier if you chilled them for a while, about 10 to 15 minutes.
