Peanut Butter Pie

We have a leaders' meeting tonight and as I was thinking about what to serve I couldn't help but think of one of our leaders whose birthday it was a few days ago.  Lydia and I started making peanut butter pie and she kept calling it "Coty Pie" (cute because it sounded a bit like "cutie pie" which she wouldn't have said).  We're going to stick a candle in the pie and sing to him and if there is a piece left Lydia will get it (even though she got to lick the spoons).  Here it is:
