Peanut Butter Pie

Last weekend, I decided I wanted to make a pie.  My brother in law was in town from L.A. and was going to stay with us Saturday night.  I wasn't feeling extremely ambitious, we took him out for dinner at our favorite Mexican restauarant, La Mesa, and then had dessert at home.  Peanut Butter Pie is the perfect dessert for guys.  Why it is that guys love peanut butter SO much, I think I'll never really know, but I find it to be true.  The great thing about this dish is girls will love it too!
