Both.

I asked Rick about his choice and it turns out I was wrong about him. It used to be an apple pie thing with him, with frozen peanut butter pie a close second. He's changed his mind and it turns out he prefers cake. Specifically my Hershey's chocolate cake with whipped peanut butter frosting. But he did tell me that he would like to have a frozen peanut butter pie for our Memorial Day "picnic" with just the two of us.

frozen peanut butter pie

Just peanut butter, with no chocolate? If so, I would try it.

Depends on what I am in the mood for. You don't get fat by being picky! For cake, my favorites are homemade German Chocolate or carrot cake. I don't get carrot cake much because my husband isn't a fan.Pies, it has to be my apple pie or pumpkin pie. I LOVE to bake (have won contests for my breads, pies and cookies). I don't get to do much anymore since we both are not supposed toe at it.

Here's the recipe. It calls for a chocolate crust and chocolate topping, but you can skip that and use any crust you want.

Why, oh WHY, did you have to post that recipe?!? Chocolate and peanut butter are my nemisis!

I like both; it’s by a sliver; but pie. In order: pecan-cherry-lemon meringue and pumpkin. With cakes: correctly baked carrot cake-my daughters coconut cake-and red velvet cake
