Ultimate Peanut Butter Pizza

Pizza Crust Ingredients:
1/3 c butter
3/4 c milk chocolate chips
2 1/2 c crushed Reese puff cereal (approx 6 cups then put them in a food processor)

Filling Ingredients:
1/2 c peanut butter
1 package softened cream cheese
2 tbsp sugar
1 container frozen whipped topping

Topping Ingredients:
1 jar hot fudge ice cream topping
1/4 c crushed Reese puff cereal (optional)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 container frozen whipped topping

 

Prepare crust:
Preheat oven to 325. Spray round pie pan 12-14 inch with non stick cooking spray.

In medium sauce pan combine butter and chocolate chips warming them until they are melted over low heat. Make sure you stir frequently so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed cereal.

Press the mixture into the pie pan and bake for 10 minutes. When it's finished baking allow it to cool completely before putting filling in the pie crust.

Prepare the filling:
In medium bowl combine the peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth. Mix in 2 cups of thawed frozen whipped topping by hand.

 Spread the mixture into the cooled pie crust and place in the fridge to chill.

Prepare the topping:
Heat 3/4 c to 1 c hot fudge topping in microwave for 45 seconds and pour/spread evenly over the chilled pie. Freeze the pie with the fudge topping for 2 hours.

Just before serving the pie spread the remaining cool whip on top.

To make it more decorative you can take hot fudge and/or peanut butter heated in the microwave again and drizzle over the pie.Dip cereal pieces in the hot fudge and place randomly on the pie for another touch of decoration. The kids I made this for said it was, "Willy Wonka in a cake!" It was definitely a crowd pleaser!
