Peanut Butter Pie

Yum! Yum!

I made this for the kids tonight, and they loved it. Dave passed on it, until he took a taste, and then headed to the cupboard for a plate. I can't laugh at him, since I did the same thing. :)

• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 carton (8 oz.) Cool Whip
• 1 graham cracker crust
• salted, chopped peanuts for garnish, optional
• chocolate syrup for garnish, optional

In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip; pour into crust. Chill until serving. Garnish as desired.

As a side note, I always buy natural peanut butter, so the texture was a bit different than it would have been with Skippy or Jif. Also, I think the natural PB probably made it a little less sweet tasting.
