The Pie Hole. The best I ever had.

I used to go crazy over the pies from Marie Callender's, but that was until I had pie at the Pie Hole. HOLEy...asdjfkl;therearenowords. Located in the Arts District of Downtown LA, the Pie Hole is located across the street from Wurstkuche, a popular German sausage sandwich shop I've also been wanting to try.This is seriously the best pie I've ever had. I couldn't even think straight after eating it...it was that good. Foodgasm? I think so.

Espresso bits in the whipped cream. Ooh the little things. <3

Fresh whipped cream, strawberries, a layer of white chocolate, and a thick, insanely buttery, crunchy crust

Yep, we killed it!
Haven't bookmarked this place and you love pie? Do so now...and go! Take my word for it :3 They also have savory pies, coffee, tea, and free Wi-Fi. If only I lived closer then I'd probably be here every weekend doing homework....and eating pie.

New dessert spot in Rowland Heights! They have a large array of shaved snow flavors and I must say the green tea shaved snow I tried was delicious! It costs extra for toppings, but just eating the snow plain with condensed milk was good with me. They also have coffee, teas, milk teas, and things like egg waffles and red bean buns...the whole shebang.

Peanut Butter S'mores Bars

Ingredients

5 or 6 full-size graham crackers
1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1 cup peanut butter, melted
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups Rice Krispies Cereal

1) Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a 8 by 8-inch or 9 by 9-inch pan with foil and spray with cooking spray (Important!)

2) Line the pan with one flat layer of graham crackers. Sprinkle the marshmallows over the graham cracker layer and bake for 6 to 7 minutes, or until marshmallows have begun to puff up or are starting to brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle white chocolate chips over the top and bake for 2 minutes more and remove from the oven and allow the pan to cool a bit.

3) Make the Peanut Butter Krispies Layer by placing chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heating for 45 to 60 seconds, then removing and stirring. Microwave again for 30 more seconds, or until mixture has fully melted. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and Cocoa Krispies and stir to coat. Pour this mixture over the top of the melted marshmallow and white chocolate chip layer.

4) Place the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set up completely before slicing and serving. Store the bars in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
