- Sprinkle the whole peanuts on top.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth, or mix in some chopped chocolate for added sweetness. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar slightly. To ensure even baking, check the pie at the 30-minute mark. This pie can be served warm or cold, and it's similar in texture to the popular Worm Farm Cake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. For a complete meal, consider serving it after a hearty dish like Crock-Pot Country Style Steak.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes. This will help retain the pie's texture and flavor.
