Substitutions and Additions
- Graham Cracker Crust: For all you chocolate lovers out there, you could totally swap out the graham cracker crust for an Oreo crust. What’s better than peanut butter and chocolate? You could also make a homemade graham cracker crust with chocolate or regular graham crackers.
- Roasted Peanuts: The roasted peanuts as a garnish are totally optional. You could leave them off, although they add a nice crunch! You could also swap them out for a different garnish altogether. Crushed Reese’s cups or Reese’s Pieces would be awesome to top the pie off!
