Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 4 tbsp melted butter

For the Filling:

• 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup light whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

For the Topping:

• 1 cup light whipped topping
• 4–5 mini peanut butter cups, chopped
• Optional: drizzle of melted chocolate or peanut butter

Instructions

1. Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Pie
Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the chilled crust.

4. Add the Topping
Top with remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly. Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups over the top and drizzle with melted chocolate or peanut butter, if desired.

5. Chill & Serve
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the pie to set. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
