The next recipe is a dessert! We have plans to see my parents this weekend, so I'm going to make this to share with them. Looks delicious! My parents live in the US for half the year, but just got home to Canada two weeks ago. My dad brought me two jars of Better 'n Peanut Butter from Trader Joes, so I'm going to use that. Otherwise, Gina says you can use light or regular PB, but it will change the NI.

Here is the recipe:

Light and creamy and ever so addicting! Whip this up in minutes for a dessert everyone will love. It's Peanut Butter Lover's Day (who knew!) so I thought I would revive this from the archives, one of my favorite desserts!
I don't know about you but I love pie! Fruit pies, banana pie, pumpkin pie, pudding pies, and high on my list... peanut butter pie. To keep it light I used Better n' Peanut Butter which is available at Target, Trader Joe's, health food stores and online.
Drizzle the top with a little chocolate syrup right before serving and you will enjoy each and every last bite!

    I like dessert :smile:

    I'm just going to use regular peanut butter, but out of curiosity, what is Better 'n Peanut Butter?

    Better N Peanut Butter is http://www.betternpeanutbutter.com/index.php

    I dont mind it for spreading on pancakes or PB&J, you do have to keep cold, so its hard to spread straight from the jar.

    I totally love this!

    When I had mixed everything together, I didn't have enough filling to fill my pie crust, so I threw the rest of my cream cheese block into the bowl, along with more of the other ingredients. Worked perfectly.

    I also used regular peanut butter because I'm really not a fan of fake peanut butters. But I did use Cool Whip - which is basically edible plastic ... so I'm a hypocrite. Oh well :ohwell:

    I let it set overnight in the fridge, and I'm eating it without the chocolate drizzle. It reminds me of a peanut butter cup. I'm going to make this again. My husband is out of town this weekend and he's going to love this if there's any left by the time he gets home.

    My mom came over and I gave her a piece and she said it was amazing.

    It's actually not too bad for her, either (she's diabetic). Cream cheese, peanut butter, and light Cool Whip are all "diabetic friendly" - I could make this again and leave out the confectioners sugar and she would be able to eat it without too much worry.

    Delicious and sooo easy. I used regular peanut butter. And I didn't have any chocolate syrup, so I melted some dark chocolate chips and spread it on top. The chocolate hardened in the fridge, kind of like a chocolate shell, but was still tasty. Next time, though, I should make my own syrup: http://www.kitchentreaty.com/homemade-chocolate-syrup/

    Great job ladies! I made it too!

    Everyone at my house really liked this too! I actually used a chocolate graham cracker crust (bc it was on sale and the regulars ones weren't .... Hahaha) and as you can guess, it was pretty yummy!

    My dad is a diabetic too and my mom and I talked about leaving (or at least halving) the sugar. I used Better n Peanut Butter, only cause I had it.

    There's enough left over for me to have another slice!

    Thanks for the awesome recipe!
