15ouncesReese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups(2 packages unwrapped)
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until crumbly.
Press crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate (deep dish).
Freeze crust for 30 minutes before adding filling.
Peanut Butter Pie
Chop 2 bags of peanut butter cups into pieces. Leave some of the cups whole. Reserve ½ cup for the filling and use the rest for the topping.
In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add peanut butter and blend until no lumps form.
Fold in ½ cup of the chopped peanut butter cups. Add Cool Whip and stir until blended.
Refrigerate filling for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, take crust out of the freezer and spread refrigerated filling into crust.
Arrange the rest of the chopped peanut butter cups on top of the pie. You can also add whipped topping, peanuts, or chocolate syrup if desired.
Serve immediately or freeze and serve at a later date. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator. See directions in notes for freezing.
Notes
Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This pie freezes well! Wrap pie tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw slightly on the kitchen counter until it can be sliced easily.
It's best to freeze this pie undecorated and add the topping and decorations when ready to serve!
