Peanut butter pie recipe

If you are a peanut butter fanatic like me, you will love this peanut butter pie recipe.  It's easy as "pie" to make with just a few ingredients.  Only the crust has to be pre-baked so you won't have your oven on long which is great for these hot summer months.

Easy Peanut Butter Pie

• 1 pre-made pie crust like Pillsbury
• 1 large box of instant chocolate or vanilla pudding
• 3 c. cold milk
• 3 c. powdered sugar
• 1/2 c. peanut butter, crunchy or creamy
• 1 small container Cool Whip

Bake pie crust according to package directions and cool.  Mix powdered sugar and peanut butter in a bowl with a pastry blender or fork until coarse crumbs form.  Sprinkle one cup crumbs into the baked pie shell.  Mix pudding and milk with an electric mixer in a medium bowl.  Pour pudding over crumb mixture and refrigerate until set.  Spread Cool Whip on top of pudding and sprinkle peanut butter/powdered sugar crumbs liberally on top.  Any leftover crumbs are good on ice cream.  Refrigerate any leftover pie.
