Peanut Butter Cayenne Pie
Something about creamy peanut butter that just screams out for a little fire. Luckily my family loves spicy food and I brought these to a family celebration where I was welcomed with open arms. Hm, maybe it wasn’t me that was welcomed with open arms but the pie.
These creamy little Peanut Butter Pies are infused with just a hint of cayenne and you can alter it to taste. These little individual sized pies are perfect to bring to a party!
