Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - Begin by crushing the 24 Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing the cookies in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin, or by pulsing them in a food processor. Once you have a fine crumb, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
  2. Step 2: Combine with Butter - Add the 5 tablespoons of melted butter to the cookie crumbs. Mix until all the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Step 3: Form the Crust - Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your 9-inch pie dish. Make sure it's evenly distributed for a consistent texture. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  4. Step 4: Prepare the Filling - In a large mixing bowl, combine the 8 ounces of cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sifted powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat them together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla - Mix in the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Continue to beat until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Step 6: Fold in Cool Whip - Gently fold in the 8 ounces of defrosted Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture. Use a rubber spatula to combine, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  7. Step 7: Assemble the Pie - Spread a layer of the slightly warmed 1 cup of hot fudge over the crust. Then, carefully spoon the peanut butter filling over the fudge layer, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Step 8: Chill the Pie - Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  9. Step 9: Serve and Enjoy - Once the pie is set, drizzle additional hot fudge on top for a beautiful presentation. Slice, serve, and watch as your friends and family rave about this delicious Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie!
