RECIPE: Peanut Butter & Oreo Pie

INGREDIENTS

FILLING:
1 cup peanut butter
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces Cool Whip
1-1/4 cups powdered sugar

CRUST:
25 Oreo cookies, crushed
4 tablespoons butter, melted

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:
3/4 cup chocolate chips


METHOD
Preheat oven to 400.  To make the crust, crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender.  Combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and press into a pie pan to form a crust.  Bake at 400 for 5 minutes; cool.  Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter and cream cheese using a mixer.  Add the Cool Whip and powdered sugar.  Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the pie shell.  Melt the chocolate chips in a squeeze bottle in the microwave.  Make sure that the chocolate is well melted and that there are no air bubbles in the bottle.  Decorate the top of the pie as desired with chocolate drizzle.  Place the pie in the freezer for about two hours without a cover so that you don’t smear your chocolate drizzle.  Remove the pie from the freezer, cover with foil, and place in the refrigerator until serving time.
