I am not a big dessert person so my baking skills are a little lacking. I do like peanut butter pie so when I saw this recipe I said that’s one for me to do!
My wife eats a lot of peanut butter and likes Jiffy. We saw where it was not that great for you and Smucker’s All Natural was the best for you so I bought a 24 oz. jar of it. It comes separated with about an inch of oil on top. It’s a pain to get mixed up and wears your arm out.
I saw this recipe and told the wife I would use most of it up and make this pie. I bought an oreo cookie crust to use. I mixed up the peanut butter, cream cheese and honey. I only used a half cup of the honey instead of 3/4 cups.
I topped it with cool whip and nuked the chocolate chips to pour on. I could not get them pourable, I forgot the shortening. If I make again will just use chocolate syrup. I used a spoon and knife to get the chocolate on.
This pie is very rich; it was almost too rich for my wife and she loves desserts.
