Frozen Reese's Peanut Butter Pie

Can I just tell you...  This is even better than it looks.  Oh my goodness.  I made this with a friend for another friend's [his gf] birthday and we had a blast making them!  They are really fun to make, and even more fun to eat!  Makes either one 9 inch pie or three 4 inch mini pies.  Yep, I'm definitely making these again this weekend...
Time:  About 25 min [NOT including freeze time!]
Enjoy!


Ingredients:
24 oreo cookies, crushed
4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 ½ cups Cool Whip
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup confectioner sugar
½ cup crushed Reeses Peanut Butter Cups


Directions:
Oreo Crust
Place Oreos in a food processor or blender and pulse until cookies are finely crumbed. Alternatively, place Oreos in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.  Mix in the melted butter and then firmly press crumbs into pan to create a crust. Bake crust at 350 degrees F for 7-10 minutes.

Reese Peanut Butter Pie Filling:
Place peanut butter and confectioner sugar in a pan over low heat and stir until combined and peanut butter is melted. Set aside for five minutes to cool. Gently fold in peanut butter mixture into Cool Whip until combined. Gently fold in crushed Reese’s pieces into peanut butter Cool Whip mixture. 

Pour mixture into Oreo crust and freeze for 3 hours. Garnish with caramel and chocolate drizzle (for added decadence rim with chopped Reese’s pieces).
