After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #12-Peanut Butter Candy Pie
This one is for the Extreme Rice Krispie Treat lover. The shell is Rice Krispie Treats pressed into the bottom of a pie plate, then filled with chocolate, sprinkled with coconut and topped with lots of candy-coated peanut butter pieces. For even more, I drizzled some melted chocolate over the top. Experiment with this one and make your own additions, such as nuts, candy-coated chocolate pieces, or even making the crust with chocolate-flavored crisp cereal.
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, 2 cups miniature marshmallows, 3 cups Rice Krispies, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, 1/4 cup flaked coconut, 1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces.
Instructions: Grease a pie plate; set aside. In microwave, heat butter and marshmallows on Hi for 1 minute; stir until marshmallows are melted. Reheat in 30 second intervals until thoroughly melted and mixed smooth. Add the cereal and mix well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
In microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Spread over prepared crust. Spinkle with coconut and candy pieces, pressing down lightly. Let stand until chocolte is set. Cut into slices and serve.
