- 4 Pillsbury pie crusts(refrigerated)
- 3 medium eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped roasted peanuts (salted)
Instructions
- Take pie crusts out of the refrigerator to allow to warm to room temperature.

- On a clean surface, roll out pie crusts and cut into 2 ½” diameter round pieces.
- Lightly press each round piece in the muffin tins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together medium eggs with a whisk or a dinner fork.
