Peanut Butter Pie

SABTeacher · 12-11-2006, 09:07 PM

Not sure if anyone can help out, but I'm willing to give this a try here...

Cracker Barrel used to have a peanut butter pie on their menu that was phenomenal. It was creamy and sweet with little chunks of dark chocolate floating around in it. It was in a chocolate crust. Years ago, they stopped carrying it. I e-mailed them for the recipe and they won't give it out. This was my favorite dessert of all time!!!

Every so often, I come across a peanut butter pie recipe that looks similar and I give it a try. A few have been good, but none have been as good as Cracker Barrel's.

Does anyone out there have a recipe for a good PB pie that I can try out? I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who is familiar with Cracker Barrel's old recipe and knows one that is similar. I am not at all concerned with amount of fat or sugar, so don't worry about how much bad stuff is in it.

Thanks,
Shari

Thanks for the recipes, devildoll. I may not be getting around to making them anytime soon since I'm having a baby next week, but I'll let you know how they turn out when I try them.
