As easy as pie (peanut butter)

My sister-in-law, Holly is a gracious hostess. I love going to her home because she is always doing something new and creative. (She just turned her rarely used dinning room into an amazing study/library.) She is also creative in the kitchen and this delicious recipe comes from her.

HOLLY'S PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Mix together: 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 8 ounces cream cheese, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon vanilla

Add: 1 cup of whipped cream that you have whipped

Put in graham cracker crust. Chill overnight. Cover with a thin layer of chocolate or hot fudge before serving.

Years ago, we hosted Robin Mark and his band in our home. (Robin is a worship leader from Ireland.) I carefully planned menus I thought they would enjoy. I had dessert (which they called pudding) every night, because I had been to Ireland and know they like their sweets.

 One night, I served Holly's Peanut Butter pie. Well . . . they raved about my tea ~ Glenda, you must be the only woman in America who knows how to make a "proper cuppa tea." But later they told me they do not really eat peanut butter in Ireland and they thought it was kinda strange. But they loved the espresso cookies (biscuits) that Dave made. The pie must not have been too bad, because they came and stayed with us again the next year.
