Ingredients

– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
– ¼ cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
– Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer
– 9-inch pie dish
– Spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I first prepare the graham cracker crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well-blended. The texture should be crumbly, yet slightly moist. I press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even layer. Pop this crust into the refrigerator to chill while I tackle the filling. The smell of the buttery crumbs is heavenly, and I can already tell this pie is going to be a winner! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
