Peanut Butter Fudge Pie

By Addie

"This is a combination of a recipe Mom Meyer gave me and one I found on Zaar. The fudge layer adds some interest. I reduced the sugar and increased the peanut butter from other recipes. This is a good summer treat, and can be frozen for a while. Thaw at least a few hours before eating in the fridge or an hour before on the counter."

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• Hot fudge sauce
• 8 ounces thawed whipped topping
• 1 large graham cracker crust
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Spread remaining whipped topping over pie. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Replace lid and freeze.

This is wonderful! I made my own hot fudge - Kahlua Fudge Sauce - and used light cream cheese, fat free cool whip, and skim milk - but you'd never know! Very rich! I also used an oreo crust instead of graham cracker. Drizzled with a little extra fudge sauce when serving. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love this recipe because of the fudge layer AND the increase of peanut butter. The other pies I have tried taste more like cheesecake with a hint of peanut. This pie TOTALLY stands alone!!! Oh and I used an oreo crust as well due to my chocolate addiction!!! Thanks so much for this recipe!! I am actually making another pie now to share with my church family tomorrow!!!

Five stars! Easy to make, and very delicious! Made it for Memorial Day. Family loved it. I could only eat a small piece due to the fact that it is very rich. Will make again. Used store bought hot fudge (warm it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds to easily spread in crust).

Oh wow!! I made this pie for Memorial Day weekend... and let me just say it's a good thing I made 2, because 1 definitely would not have made it to this weekend! The first pie didn't even make it til suppertime before everyone dug into it! I used a Kahlua fudge sauce, too (it looked too irresistible to not try it), and instead of spreading the remaining Cool Whip on top of the pie, I made my own whipped cream with the remaining of my Kahlua and heavy cream. Yummy!!!

OMG...This pie is 2 die for:)...yum-o! DH loved this & he doesn't eat sweets. Company wanted the only piece that was left to take home. The only thing I did differently was I didnt have the fudge so I squirted Hershey's syrup over the bottom (next time I'll use the fudge) and I used the large size whipped topping, 1/2 in the pie and 1/2 on the top. I topped the pie with broken up peanut butter cups. This is going to be my summer pie, all smmer long. Thanks for a great recipe (and so EASY!
