Peanut Butter Pie

I said in the last post, Spinach Frittata, I would tell you about the sweet pie I made. My mom started with this pie. It was one of my favorite pies! The filling is creamy and peanut-buttery, while the crust is a crunch that paires well with the filling. I put a chocolate drizzle on mine to give it a peanut butter and chocolate goodness. If you love Reese's you would definitely love this pie. 

Peanut Butter Pie

Crust:

1 sleeve of chocolate graham crackers

1/4 cup sugar

6 Tbsp butter, melted

Place crackers in a gallon zip lock bag and crush crackers up finely. Add sugar and mix together while still in bag. Lastly, add melted butter and mix together until crumbs are evenly moist. Press crumbs into pie plate, along bottom and side. Bake at 375 F. for 7 minutes; allow to cool before filling.

Filling:

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

1 cup peanut butter (1/2 cup chunky and 1/2 cup creamy)

1 1/4 cup powdered sugar 

8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed

Chocolate syrup (optional)

With a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese; add the peanut butter and then the powdered sugar. Cream together. Fold in the Cool Whip. Put the filling into pie crust, then top with chocolate syrup, if using. Put in fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
