Peanut Butter Pie

And to finish out the two great things that go together week - peanut butter and pie.

Who really wants to chop, stir, roll, boil, bake, cook. I just don’t appreciate four letter words like those. I like recipes that require as little work as possible, you know what I mean? (Plus it’s harder to screw up after a few drinks.)

And while everyone seems to have their own recipe for peanut butter pie, I like this one the best. It’s simple and can be prepared quickly – so you can get back to surfing Facebook. So, make a pie this weekend and relax. You've worked hard enough.


Chocolate pie crust from the grocery store (you could make your own, but why bother...)
8 ounces of cream cheese - softened
1 cup of creamy peanut butter
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon butter - softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
Chocolate bar
Chocolate peanut butter cups

Mix all but heavy cream until smooth, then fold in cream. Grate chocolate on top, cut up peanut butter cups and place on top. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

(I told you it was easy.)
