Preparation Steps
- Heat the hot fudge in the microwave for 15 seconds or on the stovetop until it is easy to pour.
- Pour the hot fudge over the bottom of the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula until just combined.
- Spoon the peanut butter filling evenly over the hot fudge layer in the graham cracker crust.
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the peanut butter filling, smoothing the top to create an even layer.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
- Before serving, top the pie with chopped mini Reese's peanut butter cups. You can also add an extra drizzle of hot fudge if desired.
