Peanut Butter Pie Cups
Peanut Butter Pie Cups

Like peanut butter with a hint of chocolate?  You’ll love these and they are great for the summer because they are easy and require no baking either!

Other day on Foodgawker, I saw the most delectable-looking peanut butter cream pie, that I wanted to dive right in.

Having a huge pie is not practical for me being a widow, and not to mention I’d probably eat the whole dang thing and I’m fat enough as it is.

So, I got the idea to make individual portions and do my own thing with the recipe. Didn’t much care for how that one went together.  Not an Oreo fan either so I didn’t want a pre-made crust of those.

Had plenty of graham crackers so that’d do for the “crust.” Also used up the last bit of Cool Whip I had.  Not only is this a different creation, it used my leftovers!  Even the chocolate sauce which is merely pre-mixed chocolate frosting nuked for 10 seconds.

There are 4 oz ball jars–perfect portion size.

    Those look delicious!! Am I reading the nutrition information correctly in assuming that the 610 calories is for all 4 of these? Should I then just divide by 4 to get the calories/fat per individual serving? (Please say yes so I can make these!) 🙂

    JCat–I'd love to be able to tell you that…but no, that's the calorie count per serving 🙁

    What I usually do is eat it then develop a case of amnesia!!!!!

    Serously though, you could use lower-fat alternatives in this and that would make it somewhat better.

    Thanks for clarifying, Judith! Yes, in this case ignorance would be bliss! I still may make them sometime and I could definitely try the reduced fat cream cheese, peanut butter, etc.

    Funny how in the last 30-40 years we have been pushing low and reduced fat and people keep getting fatter and fatter. JCat21 just make and enjoy.

    I couldn't have said it better Claude. Usually with all these "free" products they're taking out something natural, like fat but they add back something pretty unnatural back to fake a texture or taste.
