CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush the cookies until they're fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the top and stir with a fork to combine. Press into a pie pan and bake until set, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
• Pour the filling into the crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

MINI CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Line a 12 count regular size muffin tin with cupcake liners. Add graham cracker crust ingredients to food processor and blend to a fine crumble. Divide crust mixture between the 12 liners (about a heaping tablespoon each) and press into the bottom of the liners. Bake for 5-7n minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside. Add heavy cream to a large mixing bowl and beat with a handheld mixer on high until firm peaks form. Set aside. In a separate bowl, using the same beaters, beat peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, toffee bits, vanilla and salt and beat until smooth (it will be thick). Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the peanut butter-cream cheese mixture with a spatula until completely blended. Spoon peanut butter pie filling into muffin tins (they will fill to the top). Freeze for at least one hour. Meanwhile, prepare chocolate ganache by microwaving heavy cream for approximately 90 seconds until hot but not boiling. Add chocolate and let sit one minute then whisk vigorously until smooth. Let cool to barely warm, stirring occasionally (it will thicken as it cools). Spoon the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter cups and spread with the back of a spoon (its ok if some spreads over the edges). To garnish, melt peanut butter and drizzle over mini pies (I add my peanut butter to a ziploc bag and snip the corner), sprinkle with salted peanuts and mini chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups. Freeze for at least 4 hours up to 7 days. (see notes) When ready to serve, serve immediately after removing from the freezer as the mini pies soften quickly. NOTES: When to garnish: You can garnish your pies either after you have spooned the ganache over the pies and the chocolate has set or freeze the pies after the ganache, then garnish and freeze again.
