Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tub frozen whipped topping, thawed (8 oz)
Crust and Toppings
  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts optional— for a crunchy texture
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted optional— for an elegant drizzle

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  2. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and mix until everything is cohesive and sweet.
  3. Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until the mix becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Spread the delicious peanut butter filling evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust.
  5. Top it off with the remaining whipped topping, smoothing it out to cover the peanut butter layer completely.
  6. If you’d like some added crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top.
  7. For that extra decadent touch, drizzle the melted chocolate chips over the pie in a decorative pattern.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours (or until it is firm) before slicing and serving.

Notes

To store leftovers, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it refrigerated. It will last for about 3-5 days. For longer storage, consider slicing the pie and freezing individual portions.
