Peanut Butter Pie

It's time for a yummy dessert recipe, don't you think? And this one is SO easy!! I was flipping through a book of recipes from my aunts and saw this one which I had never tried before. I decided it was finally time! Feel free to make adjustments to the recipe if you want more peanut butter flavor, but I liked how light and fluffy this was with a mild peanut butter flavor.

Peanut Butter Pie

3 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter {I used creamy}

1 cup powdered sugar

8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed {or 3 cups whipped cream}

1 graham cracker crust {buy 1 or make your own; I "cheated" and bought an Oreo crust}

In large mixing bowl, blend together cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Fold in Cool Whip or whipped cream. Pour into prepared graham cracker/cookie crust and chill.

I sprinkled chopped roasted peanuts and mini chocolate chips on top of mine for extra yummage {is *so* a word - LOL}. :) 

See? Simple enough to whip up for family or company this weekend! And bonus - it's a no-bake recipe which is nice when your *Fall* days are going to be 100 degrees over the weekend.

If you like peanut butter, you might also like Marble Bars or Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies!

Tropical Traditions Giveaway

**Giveaway now closed.**

Remember when I had a yummy Tropical Traditions coconut oil review and giveaway?  Well I got to try another Tropical Traditions product:  Organic Coconut Peanut Butter!  Oh so yummy!

The Coconut Peanut Butter is just 2 ingredients blended together - organic Valencia peanuts and organic unsweetened coconut.  It doesn't get more simple and natural than that!  The combination is great!  Both hubs and I enjoyed the flavor and honestly, we mostly ate it by digging it out of the jar with pretzels as a snack - LOL!  I did want to try a recipe with it though and I'm glad I did.

The Tropical Traditions site has several recipes listed and I chose Coconut Peanut Butter Meltaways.  Oh MY - melt in your mouth sweetly delicious little candies!  Good thing I made them and sent most of them out of the house because I would have eaten every one!  Here's my pic, but I didn't do the best job making my first batch pretty:

You should definitely check out the pic at Tropical Traditions to see what they really should look like!  Make sure you follow her recipe exactly (as in don't over mix the "dough" until it gets sticky like I did)!

Guess what?  One of you will win your very own jar of the Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter!  I get to give one away!  Woo Hoo!
