Ingredients

For the Crust

2¼ cups graham cracker crumbs ~11 full-sized graham crackers
¼ cup brown sugar
7 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

For the Peanut Butter Layer

4 oz. cream cheese softened
2 Tbsp confectioner’s sugar
1 Tbsp milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 8-oz. container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

For the Chocolate Pudding Layer

2 3.9-oz. packages instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups milk
{for garnish} peanut butter cups chopped, can substitute mini chocolate chips

Instructions

For the Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour a 9” springform pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; set pan aside.
Using a medium mixing bowl, add graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter; stir until well combined.
Transfer mixture into prepared pan; press crumbs into bottom and sides of pan. (Tip: A flat-bottomed glass is helpful for this step.)
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and let cool.

For the Peanut Butter Layer

Using a large bowl, add cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk; mix until smooth.
Add peanut butter; mix until smooth
Add 1½ cups of thawed whipped topping; gently fold until smooth.
Spread mixture evenly on top of graham cracker crust.

For the Chocolate Pudding Layer

Using a medium bowl, add pudding mix and milk; stir until well combined.
Add remaining whipped topping; stir until well combined.
Spread pudding mixture evenly on top of peanut butter layer.
Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups on top of chocolate pudding.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight. (Tip: To speed the process up, this pie can be frozen.)

Notes

Instead of a graham cracker crust, an Oreo crust would also be delicious in this pie. To make a cookie crust, scrape the filling out of 30 Oreo cookies and blitz them in a food processor until finely ground. Add 5 Tablespoons of melted butter. Press mixture into bottom of pan.
