No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie

I love peanut butter pie. It’s so light, fluffy and refreshing. There’s something about peanut butter that makes me happy. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of the carefree nature of childhood. Maybe it’s because the flavor is rich and sunny. Regardless, any time is a good time for a peanut butter recipe.

Did you know Arkansas farmers are expected to harvest 16,000 acres of peanuts this year? It’s hard to believe that just two years ago the state had only 600 acres of peanuts.
