Double Layer Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

I am a sucker for any combination of peanut butter and chocolate and this pie fits right in with my favorites. I don't have a picture, but believe me, it looked great! It is really simple to throw together also.

1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cold milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
4 peanut butter cups, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (but I used as many as I could fit on top of the pie)

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, 1 tablespoon milk and peanut butter until smooth. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping. Spread mixture on bottom of pie crust.

In a second bowl, stir pudding mix with 2 cups milk until thick. Immediately stir in remaining whipped topping. Spread mixture over peanut butter layer.

Scatter peanut butter cups over top of pie. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

I made this for the missionaries the other night. It is really good and I like that the layers are thick and gooey--just what a chocolate pie should be. I forgot to pick up reese's cups, so I mixed together 1/2 c. peanut butter and 3/4 c. powdered sugar to make a kind of crumbly peanut butter. It was good, but I'd want to use peanut butter cups next time.
