Peanut Butter Pie

I had this on Thanksgiving, though it is no bake, it was EXCELLENT!! My sister made it.

You'll need 2 premade pie shells that are made from chocolate cookies. 1-18 ounce jar of peanut butter. 3 tubs of cool whip. 2 boxes of creamcheese. 1 cup sugar.

you'll need the cream cheese to be room temp.

Take the cream cheese and blend with peanutbutter and sugar, after that is blended fold in the cool whip, 2 tubs of it. Use all the peanut butter, then place in shellas and refridgerate for 2 hours. Then when ready to serve, layer on top with other cool whip slice and serve. It is delicious!!

Answer 4

BETTER THAN ANYTHING CAKE

1 SMALL CAN SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
1/2 JAR MRS RICHARDSONS BUTTERSCOTCH CARAMEL FUDGE ICE CREAM TOPPING
1 SMALL TUB COOL WHIP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Bake cake as directed on box. Immediatly upon removing cake from over poke holes all over with the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour entire can of sweetened condensed milk over holes. Spread 1/2 the jar of ice cream topping over cake (will get messy). Refrigerate 1 hour.
When cool, spread cool whip over top, sprinkle heath bars over cool whip. Cake must be refrigerated.
* If you can't find the Mrs. Richardsons ice cream topping...you can mix caramel, butterscotch and fudge toppings together.
