REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Ingredients
1 - cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 - 8 oz pkg Original
Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Room temperature)
1 – 8 oz pkg Cool Whip (thawed)
1 – teaspoon vanilla
¾ - cup
powdered (confectioner’s) sugar
2 – tablespoons milk
1 –
12 oz jar hot fudge sauce (Smuckers or Hersheys – room
temperature)
5 – regular size Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups
10 – mini Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups (cut in half)
1 –
Oreo Cookie pre-made pie crust
Step 1: • In pie shell, pour jar of hot fudge on bottom of crust; be careful not to break crust. (Fudge can be warmed in microwave for a minute before applying.) • Crumble 5 regular sized peanut butter cups over layer of fudge.
Step 2: • Beat cream cheese until fluffy; add peanut butter and continue beating until mixed well. • Add vanilla and milk and continue to mix. • Slowly add powdered sugar while mixing. • Gently fold in cool whip to mixture with large spoon. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3: • Gently spoon peanut butter/cream cheese mixture on top of layer of fudge. • Place halved mini Reece’s PB Cups around the edge and in middle . • Chill for at least a couple of hours.
TIP: I never try to put this whole pie mixture in one pie crust. I usually make 2 pies... if you try to put all of it in one crust, the pie is way to tall, hard to cut and serve, and you can't put a lid on it. So, it's a lot neater and easier to deal with if you just make two pies (or cut the recipe in half... but why not just make two pies? Ha.)
