I think I have a problem. Do they have a 12-step program for Nutter Butter Lovers?
I’ve been using Nutter Butters a lot lately. I made ice cream, a halloween treat, and even another crust with them just a couple weeks ago.
And now I bring you this pie. With yet another Nutter Butter theme.
But this one isn’t my fault. This one is all my husband.
We were at dinner one night awhile ago (alone, so of course we were talking about my blog and food, because that’s good date-night banter) and he said I should make a Nutter Butter crust.
Thousands of ideas popped into my head.
Then he said, oh, and make a peanut butter filling too.
And then he mentioned Nutella.
And I knew I was going to make this pie.
Unfortunately, I thought he was being all original and I was going to take the blogging world by storm with his ingenious idea of a Peanut Butter Nutella Nutter Butter Pie. It would be amazing.
And then I Googled it.
*Sigh*
Maybe the idea isn’t original…but I did make up the recipe as I went along, so we can pretend it’s all ingenious and original and fabulous, right?
And you can totally make this ahead of time, because while it’s good room temp or from the fridge, it’s even better frozen.
{Also hubby’s idea, BTW. I married a genius.}

Hahaha. I’m the same way. “I will be the FIRST person in the WORLD to post this! Ahaha!” And then, after a google, “Oh… ๐ ”
Your husband is still a genius and this pie looks amazing! A perfect combination of flavors. ๐
Thanks Erin!! ๐
Hi we don’t get nutter butters in South Africa, but I make my own peanut butter cookie recipe which is gluten free and delicious. 1 cup peanut butter, half a cup of brown sugar, a pinch of salt and an egg. Mix together, use a teaspoon to make balls place on baking paper and flatten slightly with a fork – they do spread quite a bit. Bake at 160 C until a crust forms on the top – about 12 mins. I use a home gas oven so I have learnt to bake by smell and feel rather than temperature and time so some experimentation may be needed ;). These with Nutella and cream would be wow.
Yum!!! Thanks for the tip Lauren!
