Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was shared with my family from a very close family friend for years, Jan Lower.

I also served this recipe when I was a baker at the Alcove Restaurant in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

There was also another peanut butter pie served there which was cream cheese based and served in a pecan crust. That recipe and pie was made by Norma Cramer and I do not have access to it.
