Peanut Butter Pie

This pie is Aaron's favorite (because peanut butter, of course). I started making it years ago when we were first married, and today I'm making it once again for his 42nd birthday!



Ingredients

1 10 inch prepared graham cracker crust

1/2 jar of hot fudge, heated slightly

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened

1 1/4 c powdered sugar

1 8 oz package cool whip, thawed (4 oz more to top, optional)

Chopped Reeses peanut butter cups, optional    

Directions

For the crust: Pour 1/2 jar hot fudge into prepared graham cracker crust, and spread around the bottom of the pie.

For the filling: Beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.

Pour the filling into the crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving. Garnish top of pie with more Cool Whip and chopped Reeses, if desired.
