Peanut Satin Pie
Like a cross between pie and cheesecake, this dessert from the Cottage in LaJolla, California is great plain ... or dolloped with hot fudge.

Directions:
- In a small pot melt 1 stick of the butter. Add the graham crackers and stir until the crackers are coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Let the crust sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool.
