Honey Roasted Peanut Pie
Think "pecan pie filling" with peanut butter traded for butter and honey-roasted peanuts traded for the pecans. I didn't forget the shortcut in this recipe, although it's already a simple and easy pie. Don't have honey-roasted peanuts? Cocktail peanuts and even peanuts with the red skins on them will work just fine!

Let the rolled up pie crusts stand at room temperature a few minutes according to package directions. Don’t skip this step.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs in a large bowl until the white part of the egg is blended with the yolks. Whisk in the sugar, corn syrup and vanilla extract.
Put the peanut butter in a very small microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on high for 20 seconds or just until it melts and pours easily. Whisk it into the filling mixture. Stir in the peanuts.
Gently unroll the pie crust dough and smooth out the curled edges. Fit the pie crust dough in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Using your thumb and two fingers, pinch the pie crust to flute the edges.
Give the filling mixture a quick stir and pour into the fluted crust. Bake on the center rack for 45 to 50 minutes or just until the center is set. Let cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
You can also use cocktail peanuts, dry roasted peanuts, and Spanish peanuts.
It's best to start with room temperature eggs for this recipe but not a must. To bring eggs to room temperature quickly, place eggs in a bowl of warm water for just 5 minutes.
