Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie |
Brian: Well if you have read any of our previous blogs, you will know that my wife is typically the chief talent around here. However, this is the week I decided to step up. One of the major reasons that I did this one from start to finish, is that my wife has a flaw. Her flaw is that she does not appreciate that peanut butter desserts are the most amazing desserts ever!
Angie: So yeah, I love peanut butter cups, but I'm not fond of peanut butter desserts. Brian taking charge of this week's pie was fine with me! I bought a pecan pie for our daughter Andrea and I to enjoy while Brian and our 2 other peanut butter loving kids have peanut butter pie. I also, prepared 4 freezer meals.
Nothing bad starts out with 24 Oreos! |
Drizzle the butter onto the cookie mixture |
Angie: My daughter Emilee helped take most of the photographs today and also pressed one of the pie crusts into the pie pan. The recipe allowed for several options, but we used the bottom of a measuring cup to press in the crust.
Peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. |
Adding the Cool Whip and getting fluffy |
Brian: WARNING! Don't taste the beaters or you may be derailed for an extended period of time. It is very easy to consider abandoning the pie all together and having a bowl of peanut butter pie fluff. You will miss out on the combination with chocolate, and the true joy that comes from sharing.
Angie: Today at church our pastor was talking about men and how most of them are not able to share their feelings. I have the greatest husband. He is in touch with his feelings and he makes pie.
Brian has mad pie skills. They are more than just pies... they are works of art. |
