Personal Notes:
Mom found this recipe a while ago and it is irresistible. I have not met one person who dislikes this pie, unless you don’t like peanut butter. This pie is very very rich, but light. When I do make this pie, I make an extra one for the doctor I work for, he loves it. Also, when you make this pie, go ahead and make two and freeze one. Enjoy!
