Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 prepared chocolate pie crust
1 (11.75 ounce) jar hot fudge microwaveable ice cream topping (like Smuckers), divided
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Peanut butter cups for garnish

Directions:
1. Beat together 1 cup peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium, until well combined.
2. Gently mix in 3 cups whipped topping until thoroughly combined.
3. Spoon mixture into pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie.
4. Reserve 2 tablespoons of hot fudge topping into the corner of a resealable plastic bag. 5. Microwave remaining topping, on high for 1 minute. Stir. Spread topping over pie, covering entire peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until set. Spread remaining whipped topping (1 1/2 cups), over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.
6. Cut a small corner from bag containing topping. Squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pie. Place remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter in a resealable food storage bag; cut bag corner and squeeze to drizzle in opposite direction from topping. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
