This isn’t my first attempt at a Chubby Hubby Peanut Butter Pie; however, this is the new & improved version of it. Other than a traditional pb&j sandwich, I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter.  HOWEVER, my husband and kids have peanut butter running through their veins.  Peanut butter candy, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter sauce, peanut butter pancakes, peanut butter on their waffles, peanut butter on a spoon, peanut butter, peanut butter, peanut butter…  Soooooo….with that, I felt  it was my duty as a good wife and mother to create a peanut butter pie just for them.  The end result was a peanut butter pie with peanut butter sandwich cookies (Nutter Butters) chocolate chips, peanut butter mousse, chocolate drizzle, caramel, and chocolate chip cookie dough.

Crust

2 c. crushed peanut butter wafer cookies (Nutter Butter Cookies)
