re: Peanut Butter Pies

I just discovered that Keebler makes a pretzel crust pie shell. Anyone tried that?

I haven’t, but give it a try. I will if I find it.

It’s one of those pies you can’t really mess up as long as correct ingredients/measurements

Even then… I make and give so many away this time of year that sometimes when I triple the recipe I’ll forget to triple one ingredient and it still turns out good.

Those look delicious

Just made this. I, too, just dumped everything in at the same time, but the kitchaid stand mixer made short work of it.
Followed the recipe closely, but used more peanut butter.
I think the pie crusts I got must have been bigger. This recipe would not have made 2 pies worth, so I just made one REALLY FULL pie. Chopped up 4 peanut butter cups, into the freezer. Really excited about this for tomorrow.

That’s just the way it was taught to me and we enjoy it that way. I’m sure keeping in the fridge is fine, it may be preferable to some. I think it would be a little more gooey, but shouldn’t affect the taste. The recipe makes 2 pies, next time I may do one in the freezer and one in the fridge.

It’s so easy to make and hard to screw up. There have been several suggestions/variations on this thread that all sound good to me and that I plan to try sometime. Chocolate ganache, caramel, pretzel crust, etc…

It’s for sure easier to cut when frozen. It also removes the need for ice cream.

The pretzel crust was a hit. I shaved and grated some dark chocolate with a hint of sea salt (in the chocolate, not sprinkled by itself) on top. It was a hit.

Although one girl had her slice with more cool whip AND ice cream. Good luck with that child later.

Just to show there's one in every crowd, I made these last year and my wife did not like it. Who knows why.

Bumping..

I had bookmarked this thread to remind me about these. My wife just put two of these in the freezer and brought me the spoon to “clean” for her. Dang that stuff is dangerous!
