This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it! I like to save my favorite recipes from across the web in one place. Would you consider adding the just a pinch recipe plugin to your blog? It would be great to be able to share your blog's and recipes from my just a pinch recipe box.

Disappointed to see use of hydrogenated nut butter and hydrogenated oil in the crackers used in the crust as well.

Help please! :) Ritz crackers are sold in a box over here (Norway to be exact), how many grams does a sleeve contain?

The boxes don’t have sleeves of crackers inside the box in Europe? I’ll be sure to weigh them when I bake tomorrow and report back here for you! 😊

Thank you! :)
And no sleeves, just a bag inside the box. Less plastic, more broken crackers I guess ;)

Are you using regular peanut butter or the "natural" (aka runny) kind? Do you know if it matters?

Hi Tia! I used creamy, sweetened peanut butter. I haven't tried it with a natural, unsweetened variety—it might still work, but I can't say for sure what the differences would be. If you give it a try, let me know what you think!

How would some chocolate chips or a light chocolate icing go with the peanut utter pie?

Hi Trisha! I love the idea of stirring chocolate chips into the filling—but since I haven't tried it myself, I'm not sure how it would turn out (could be too gooey?). And a chocolate icing sounds sooo good; I'd just spread it on top right before serving!

I was just thinking this! Chocolate makes everything better! I'm thinking a thin layer between the crust and filling so as to not alter the consistency of the filling

Ooh, that's a fun idea, too! Maybe something like this recipe from Four & Twenty Blackbirds: https://food52.com/recipes/24910-black-bottom-oatmeal-pie
