Peanut Butter Pie

In honor of Easter coming soon, I thought I'd give you a simple peanut butter pie recipe. It's not overly rich, but has the perfect blend of peanut butter and chocolate. It's become my go to dessert. Plus, who doesn't love a peanut butter/chocolate combination? :)

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie

CRUST:

Cooking Spray
1 package chocolate chip muffin mix
4 tablespoons butter softened
1/3 cup peanuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray. Combine muffin mix, butter, and peanuts in mixing bowl. Blend with fork, just until crumbly. Press evenly onto bottom of pie plate and up sides. Bake 13-16 minutes until set. Cool

FILLING:

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 oz of cream cheese (note this is not a whole package!)
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons of milk
2 cups frozen whipped topping.

Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and sugar with electric mixer on medium high until smooth. Beat in milk. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spoon into cooled crust. Drizzle warm hot hudge topping on top and chill 3-4 hours.Store covered in the fridge.

See that wasn't too hard was it? Once you try it, you will never go back to another peanut butter pie. The chocolate chip crust, makes this pie so unique. If you try this over Easter, or this weekend, PLEASE leave me a comment and let me know how it turned out! I'd love to hear how delicious you thought it was. Enjoy!!

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii.

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar
