Get ready for a pie that will change your life! Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Pie with Pretzel Crust is sure to be a family favorite!
I’ve done something bad. Something very bad. I think this pie may be the death of me. Several years ago I decided to make the perfect peanut butter pie. You really should just stop reading now because it may be the death of you as well. In my opinion, it is heaven on a plate. You’ve got the salty pretzel topped with a layer of gooey hot fudge, and then the bulk is the peanut butter custard which is silky and creamy. I’m in love.
This right here, is the perfect peanut butter pie. Who doesn’t love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? I’ve made this for several years now and it’s always the first pie gone.
This pie is my absolute favorite pie of all time. I have always preferred cream pies over fruit pies, but this pie takes things to a whole new level. Everyone that I’ve ever served this pie to has absolutely raved about it. Be sure to let me know when you try it!

I was pretty confident that I could avoid “over sugaring” during the holidays… …until now.
Peanut butter is my kryptonite.
I used to drive a truck in Illinois, and on Wednesdays I did an out of town run delivering frozen foods. On the long drive home at the end of the day there was a coffee shop/cafe at a crossroads in the country where I would stop and sometimes have a slice of homemade pie. I looked up at the chalkboard and saw Peanut Butter pie and I laughed and said “There’s no such thing as peanut butter pie!” They pointed to a framed award from Farmer’s Wife Magazine for Peanut Butter pie and told me I better order some before its all gone. I did and they beamed as I moaned and groaned wolfing it down. I’ve always been fond of the whole experience that day and love learning about new foods. This looks amazing and I love pretzel crust. Nice job!
Can I freeze this pie once it is in the refrigerator for a couple of hours? Thanks!
I have never personally tested this, but it would work in theory.
I enjoy watching you very much, you have a wonderful way about you. Your recipes are GREAT! I just found you and signed up as a subscriber, so I look forward to trying and watching you make many more tasty goodies! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with me.
Welcome! I’m so glad you found me!
My filling turned out kind if gelatinous. It tasted fine so I still poured (sort of just flopped in actually) it into my pie crust. Will it turn out??
Oh man, I feel so bad for taking a day to respond! I was on vacation!
So you cooked the filling a little too long. No worries, I bet it still tasted great, it was just a bit off texturally. Next time just simmer it a little less. And immediately remove it from the heat when it thickens to your desired consistency. Let me know how it ended up overall.
Hi! My pie won 2nd place in our little office pie-off! Lol. So texturally it was a little off–but people still LOVED it! And it was so beautiful! Thanks for the reply too. I'm going to make this pie again for Thanksgiving this week!
Now you just need a lactose free version for those of us with lactose intolerant children. It does sound absolutely amazing though. If it weren't for my daughter's allergy I would make that for dessert tonight.
You're killing me here. See me sashay down to hell with blocked arteries and a blissful smile my face. Cannot wait to try this. You might never hear from me again, nor will anybody, but it'll be worth it.
yummmmmm!
Hmm, how can this NOT be absolutely great?! 🙂
It looks delish!!
