MORE FROM MY AUNT DONA

Aunt Dona with my cousins, Dona Marie & Michael

Aunt Dona has always shared with me some of her most special recipes.  This is one of the best.  It’s a frozen peanut butter pie and it’s absolutely over the top when it comes to desserts!  She is one of the best cooks around, and I know my cousins (Gary, Cathy, Michael, Randy and Dona Marie) back me up on that. 

Make two of these pies and store one n the freezer to have on hand for unexpected guests.  This recipe is a keeper!
