Tips & Substitutions

You can substitute the smooth peanut butter with crunchy for added texture, or use almond butter for a different flavor. If you want a lower sugar option, consider using a sugar substitute in place of powdered sugar. This pie pairs beautifully with Parsley Potato Salad for a delightful meal.
