Sweet Disposition

So its been a few weeks since well the timing is really off on the post and I took about 7 months off from writing here due to family issues but I'm back and I have been cooking the whole time. Now today I bring you a few variations on the same pie. I'm a nut for nuts, chocolate and fresh fruit. So here are few pies all running along these lines that cost as much as store bought but taste so much better and are something you can do with friends family and even kids because well no real "cooking" is involved.

Nanna Nut Pie

Ok so we all know bananas chocolate and  nuts are friends so why not put them together.

What you need.

One can of chocolate cream pie filling (this can be found at the dollar tree at lest the ones in the south jersey area of any of my friends that have one near them could look for me and see that would be fab.)

2-3 ripe Bananas

A packet of chopped walnuts (also a dollar store find)

One gram cracker pie crust (you can make this but I again bought it at the dollar store)

To start gather everything (duh) and open your pie shell and your can of pie filling then cut up your banana into slices and lay around the bottom of the pie shell but leave more for later. Then add the filling and smooth it and then add the rest of the bananas. Top with the walnuts and chill enjoy minimally after an hour. But over night its a decadent breakfast treat with some tea and a small glass of almond milk.

Next up...
Chunky Peanut Butter Cup Pie.

You will need.

1  jar of creamy peanut butter.

Chocolate Pie filling (The kind in the can like above)

One gram cracker pie crust (again just like above)

A tube of peanuts (for a pretty topping)

So just like before you gather everything but this time half the peanut butter goes into a bowl and pop it in the micro wave till smooth and creamy while you wait get everything else prepared. WHen its creamy transfer it to a sandwich bag (I've lost my share of pie shells just trying to pour it in) snip the tip and pipe it into the bottom of the shell. top with chocolate filling and if you have any creamy peanut butter left in the bag swirl into the filling (be as artistic as you want it cooking!) Then top with the peanuts and vola! A new yummy easy desserts good for parties and rainy weekends in.
