Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter

8 oz cream cheese, softened

Directions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture is slightly moist.

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or similar-sized pan to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly. Set it aside.

In a separate bowl, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese together until smooth and well combined.

Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and continue to beat until the mixture is creamy.

Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and smooth.

Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

If desired, sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts over the top for added texture and flavor.

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set.

Serve and enjoy!
