Dig into this pie and you might feel as though a spell has been cast upon you because you can't resist going back for seconds!
Makes one pie.
4 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temp
1/2 small jar of peanut butter (does not have to be exact amount— I just "eyeballed" it)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
8 ounce Cool Whip, thawed
1 Oreo piecrust or homemade chocolate wafer cookie pie crust
Chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
Tombstone shaped cookies
White chocolate candy melts or almond bark
Black paste food coloring
1 can of vanilla frosting
plastic spiders, gummy worms...etc
To make pie:
In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk. Fold in 6 ounces of Cool Whip. Stir until all ingredients are completely mixed together. Pour mix into the piecrust. Reserve leftover Cool Whip for decorating the top of the pie.
Sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs all over the top of the pie. Stick pie in freezer until you have finished making the tombstone toppers.
To make tombstones:
Melt white chocolate in microwave. If the tombstone-shaped cookies are sandwich cookies, separate and remove filling. Dip each cookie into chocolate and lay on waxed paper to dry. You can stick the cookies into the freezer for quicker drying. You will need one cookie for each slice of pie.
Use the black food coloring to tint vanilla frosting. Add frosting to a plastic baggie; snip off the tip of one end of the baggie and use to write silly phrases or names on the tombstones. Dry completely.
Remove pie from freezer. Score the top of the pie into eight slices. Stick one tombstone cookie down into each slice of pie.
At this point, the pie can be stored in the freezer until you are ready to serve it. Remove it and allow to partially thaw for 10-15 minutes before serving. Decorate around each tombstone with the leftover Cool Whip and spiders and gummy worms.
