Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

I had such a lovely birthday. I am truely blessed by my family and Tech Hubby. We had dinner with mom and dad last night then went to their house for peanut butter pie with home made chocolate sauce. My gift to you today? -the recipes for both! I apologize in advance for not giving credit where it is due for the recipe source. I asked mom where she got the recipe and she said, ‘from a lady at work years ago’. This recipe has been seen at birthdays for many years now so who knows at which job or through what lady it was discovered.

PEANUT BUTTER PIE (makes 2 pies)

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream

1 C peanut butter

1/2- 3/4 container of Cool-Whip (c)

dash of salt

2 TBS butter

Combine all ingredients and cook over med. heat whisking constantly. Boil for exactly 2 minutes remove from heat and add 1/2 to 3/4 tsp vanilla.
