Prep Time 20

Total Time 20

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz Cool Whip (thawed in fridge for 4 hours)
1 premade chocolate pie crust
1-2 cups chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
for garnish: additional peanut butter cups; whipped cream or additional Cool Whip

Instructions

Add cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a medium-sized bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until well mixed.
Gently fold in Cool Whip until it is well-mixed.
Gently fold in chopped peanut butter cups until they are evenly distributed.
Pour mixture into chocolate pie crust and chill for 2-3 hours until mixture has firmed up. For easiest cutting, freeze (loosely covered in plastic wrap) for 30 minutes before cutting slices.
Optionally garnish with additional peanut butter cups and Cool Whip (or whipped cream).
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The amount of peanut butter cups you add to the filling is based on personal preference. I like to add 1 heaping cup to the filling and then load up the top of each piece with more.
For easier chopping, freeze the peanut butter cups for 10-15 minutes before chopping.
