Peanut Butter Pie with Caramel Drizzle

It was my husband’s birthday this week. After about the third time of asking what cake he wanted, he said he wanted a peanut butter pie after watching an old episode of Pioneer Woman. I based this recipe on her’s but with a few changes. For example, I used chocolate oreos for the crust rather…
