Butterscotch Pie
Here is a recipe to use some of your brown sugar. Even though this isn't that attractive-looking of a pie, it is actually really good. I loved the different take on a graham cracker crust. The only problem with it was how crumbly it was...the crust that is. I had to pretty much serve it with a spoon, but the taste was fine. Hubby's comment; "I approve this message." Which is his way of saying he'd eat it if I fixed it again. Ha.

1/3 cup flour
½ tsp salt
2 egg yolks

For crust:
Blend peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs. Line pie plate, including sides, with mixture and chill.
