Creamy Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
16 ounces Cool Whip
Graham cracker pie crust
chocolate shavings or fudge syrup

Directions

In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and cool whip until well blended. Pour into the pie crust. Top with chocolate shavings or fudge syrup. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.

**Notes~I made the pie crust out of peanut butter cookies. I just stuck them in the food processor, added 4 Tbsp. of butter, and pressed it into a pie pan. Also, to make chocolate shavings, just put a chocolate candy bar in the freezer for a bit and then use your vegetable peeler to make shavings.**
