Ingredients
Peanut Butter Base
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ¾ cup butter
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 (8-inch) prepared graham cracker crusts
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
Topping
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients as listed to ensure smooth preparation.
- Make Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and peanut butter. Microwave until softened, then mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Add Sugar: Gradually stir in confectioners’ sugar until the mixture forms a soft dough-like consistency.
- Fill Pie Crusts: Evenly spread the peanut butter mixture into the two prepared graham cracker crusts, pressing gently to create an even base layer.
- Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until well blended and smooth.
- Add Pudding Layer: Pour the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer in each pie crust.
- Chill Pies: Refrigerate the pies for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is firmly set.
- Add Whipped Topping: Just before serving, spread the thawed whipped topping over each pie evenly to create the final creamy layer.
Notes
- For best results, use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
- Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed before spreading to avoid lumps.
- The pies are very rich; serving smaller slices is recommended.
- Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
