SKIPPY® and Milk Bar® have embarked on a collaborative marketing initiative, where the brands reveal the secret behind the fan-favorite Milk Bar® Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Pie. The key ingredient of this dessert "has always relied on the unmistakable taste of SKIPPY® Creamy Peanut Butter."
The Milk Bar® Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Pie will be made available for purchase in Milk Bar® retail locations and via online ordering for national delivery. Concurrently, SKIPPY® and Milk Bar® also introduced a new, simplified recipe for Peanut Butter Crunch Bars that is designed for home preparation.
Sam Hovick, brand manager for SKIPPY®, shared about the collaboration: "Peanut butter is at the heart of so many holiday traditions, from classic cookies to buckeyes. When we discovered that SKIPPY® Creamy Peanut Butter was the secret behind this iconic Milk Bar® dessert, we knew it was a match made in peanut butter heaven. This partnership offers something for everyone, whether you ship the pie to loved ones, pick it up in-store or create your own version at home."
