Like two desserts in one, this new dish combines the best of [banana pudding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnolia-bakery1) with the taste of [peanut butter pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-pie-made-with-reeses). Popeyes' new Peanut Butter Banana Pie is a limited time dessert that is only available until August 25th. The dessert itself starts with a graham cracker shell that boasts notes of peanut butter. The outer crust is then filled with "a smooth banana Bavarian filling," which is topped with both peanut butter-flavored candy chips and chocolate drizzle. According to a press release from the brand, the new Peanut Butter Banana Pie expertly combines the best of peanut butter and banana into one tasty dessert.
