No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
A rich and creamy dessert that combines the classic pairing of chocolate and peanut butter in a simple crust.
recipesbynani.comThis pie is a favorite in my house because it is so easy to put together. It uses a crunchy chocolate cookie base, a silky peanut butter center, and a smooth chocolate layer on top that everyone loves.
Since this is a no bake recipe, it is perfect for warm days when you do not want to turn on the oven. My best advice is to make sure your cream cheese is completely soft before you start, so your filling turns out perfectly smooth.

💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to three days. For the cleanest slices, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between each cut.
