NO BAKE CREAM CHEESE PEANUT BUTTER PIE

I recently made a visit to North Carolina and one of my very best friends lives there.  We always have so much fun together.  Our time is usually spent shopping, getting pedicures, and eating good food.  There are some really great places to eat in North Carolina.  And I have made a couple of recipes that were inspired by some of the yummy food that I had while I was there.

She showed me a video of this easy to make no bake pie.  I only was able to watch how it was made so I decided to make a few changes to it!  It starts with the graham cracker crust.  The video showed a pre made crust but I decided to make my own.  And I used a chocolate graham cracker crust.  Chocolate and peanut butter.  A match made in heaven right?

INGREDIENTS

• Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust: (You can also use store bought)
• 1½ cups of graham cracker crumbs (chocolate or regular can be used)
• ¼ cup of white sugar
• ¾ cup butter, melted

For filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup confectioners' sugar
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 8 oz whipped topping (like cool whip), thawed
• Whipped cream, chocolate syrup (optional toppings)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium sized bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter until incorporated. Pour into a 8-9 inch pie pan and press firmly on the bottom and side of the pan to form the crust. Put in the fridge while you make the filling.
