1 cup (room temperature)

Granulated sugar

Instructions
1
Begin by preparing your chocolate cookie pie crust. If using a store-bought crust, make sure it’s ready to use.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, smooth peanut butter, and granulated sugar. Beat them together until smooth and creamy.
3
Next, gently fold in 3 cups of the whipped topping until just combined. Make sure not to over-mix.
4
Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared chocolate cookie crust, spreading it evenly up to the edges.
5
In a microwave-safe dish, warm the hot fudge (minus the reserved 2 tablespoons) in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir to ensure it’s evenly warmed and pourable.
6
Carefully pour the warm hot fudge over the peanut butter mixture, smoothing it out evenly.
7
Refrigerate the pie for several hours, or until ready to serve.
8
Just before serving, spread the reserved 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping over the top of the pie.
9
To create a decorative drizzle, spoon the reserved 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of hot fudge into separate sandwich bags. Knead the bags to prepare the sauces for drizzling.
10
Carefully snip off a small corner of each bag and drizzle the peanut butter in straight lines across the top of the pie, then drizzle the hot fudge in perpendicular lines to create a beautiful pattern.
