Photo byDebbie Miller

I found this recipe online and it's the best I have found. You can change it up however you like with different toppings.

For the Crust:

• 25 crushed Oreos
• 4 Tablespoons Melted Butter

For the Peanut Butter Pie Filling

• 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter (I used Jif)
• 1 8 oz package Cream Cheese (full fat is best)
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (I measured, then sifted)
• 3 Tablespoons milk
• 1 8 oz container Cool Whip
• Hot fudge/chocolate topping for drizzling (optional)
• Peanut Butter Cups for garnish (I used miniatures, sliced)

Instructions

For the Crust

Crush Oreos for crust and combine with melted butter. Press in bottom and sides of 10 inch pie plate (or similar size).

For the Pie Filling

Using a hand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.

Add in the sifted powdered sugar and milk and mix to incorporate.

Next, mix in the cool whip until just combined and smooth.

Assembly of Pie

Add pie filling to the Oreo crust and spread to smooth.

Drizzle the top with desired amount of chocolate topping and chopped peanut butter cups. Chill in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours or until it has firmed up a bit.
