I know here in North America almost everybody grows up eating peanut butter with bananas, apples and toast, right? So yummy! But do you know it’s not very traditional to eat peanut butter in South America? Well… Now it’s getting more popular, but when I grew up 30 something years ago it certainly wasn’t popular. To be honest I ate peanut butter for the first time here in Canada few years ago. At first I didn’t like much, but now I love it!

I was very amazed by the flavour of this peanut butter pie. I mean… Don’t get me wrong I knew this pie was going to taste delicious. This combo (peanut butter, banana and chocolate) it’s hard to beat, right? But because it’s so simple to make I didn’t think it would taste this GOOD!
