Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

My family has actually been waiting for this one!  It was suppose to be our sweet option for July, but I substituted the Peach/Blueberry because I had those fresh fruits on hand at that time.  They've been asking for this one every week since!

Jen declared this one her new favorite!  I warn you it's very rich, you may want to have a glass of milk on hand.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

  

Ingredients

1 cup  Creamy Peanut Butter

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided

1 prepared chocolate pie crust

1 (11.75 ounce) jar Hot Fudge Ice Cream Topping, divided

2 tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter

Directions

1.     Beat together 1 cup peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium, until well combined. Gently mix in 3 cups whipped topping until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie.

2.     Reserve 2 tablespoons of hot fudge topping into the corner of a resealable plastic bag. Microwave remaining topping, on HIGH (100% topping), for 1 minute. Stir. Spread topping over pie, covering entire peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until set. Spread remaining whipped topping (1 1/2 cups), over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.

3.     Cut a small corner from bag containing topping. Squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pie. Place remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter in a resealable food storage bag; cut bag corner and squeeze to drizzle in opposite direction from topping. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
