You really can’t go wrong with the chocolate/peanut butter combo, and this simple peanut butter pie recipe is easy to make and so delicious!
This is one of my son’s favorite pies, and you only need a few ingredients to make it. I use oreos for the crust, to get the chocolate peanut butter flavor, but if want pure peanut butter flavor you could also use a graham cracker crust.
There are only 4 ingredients for the filling and it is no bake aside from a short baking time for the crust, so it comes together super fast. You can top it with whipped cream or some cut up Reese’s cups if you like, but my family likes it plain just like the picture.
