Jacob's Favorite Peanut Butter Pie

Jacob always orders a peanut butter pie from a local restaurant.  After a few tries, he says this version is better than the restaurant's.


Oreo Crust

25 Oreos

4 TB melted butter


Peanut Butter Pie Filling

2 C Jif or Skippy PB

2 8oz package cream cheese, softened

2 1/2 C powdered sugar

16 oz package Cool Whip topping, softened

Peanut butter chips

Chocolate chips

Crumbled peanut butter candies, such as Reeses Cups or Butterfinger


Blend Oreos until they are smooth crumbs.  Mix with melted butter, and press into a pie pan.  Let the crust rest in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Beat the peanut butter and the cream cheese together until smooth.  Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.  Add the Cool Whip and beat until smooth.  Add peanut butter chips (to taste, maybe about 1 C), and mix into the filling.  Put filling inside the pie crust.  

Once pie filling is chilled, melt chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle the melted chocolate over the pie.  Top with crushed candies.
