"there's no wrong way to eat a Reese's..."

I've always wanted someone to comment on how I eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup just so I could say to them that there's not wrong way to eat a Reese's. But unfortunately it hasn't happened yet but I haven't give up hope! So why the talk of peanut butter cups? Because I'm making a peanut butter cup pie of course! You would think it would be easy to find a pie recipe actually made out of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups but it's harder than one might assume. Luckily, I found this one...

I wish I could tell you how it tastes but I'm literally still in the process of making it. The problem with no bake pies is how much time you spend waiting around. Right now I'm waiting for the stupid chocolate peanut butter part to chill. I think I only have an hour left and then I can finish it. Let's talk pie making:

What you need:

• 12 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (I actually used 14 though)
• 1 8 oz package cream cheese - room temperature (which mine was still cold because I didn't have time to waste waiting for it to warm to "room temperature")
• 1 ready made graham cracker pie crust (feel free to make your own but I say "f that")
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 TBS powdered sugar
• 2 TBS Dream Whip

For starters, it's always good to have a little help in the kitchen: Dexter is my helper :)

The first part of the recipe might be the hardest: unwrapping the peanut butter cups and NOT eating them. Melt the peanut butter cups in a double boiler (which I improvised and just used two pots that kind of fit together!) on medium heat (but I did high!) until they're melted enough to be able to whip.

Let the peanut butter cups cool a little bit and then add the cream cheese and blend until they're smoooooooth (which I found mine wasn't so smooth when I started pouring it into the crust which is clearly the next step).

 Slop the chocolately/peanut buttery deliciousness into the pie crust and off to the refrigerator it goes for a whopping 2 HOURS. (I told you there's a lot of hurry up and wait!)

Now because I don't like to wait, I moved on to the next step which is the making of the whipped topping. Mix the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and Dream Whip in a glass bowl. And by mix I mean, whip it, whip it good! Whip it until the topping forms moutainous peaks (keep in mind my picture below is not as "peaky" as it should be but I got sick of holding the hand mixer!

Once the whipped topping peaked to what I considered "good enough" I covered it and put it in the fridge to chill while the rest of the pie continued to chill. While the pie "pieces" chilled I also decided to chill with something a little bit healthier than the impending pie...

After the pie has been chillin for two hours, pour the whipped topping on top of the chocolate peanut butter cream cheese goo in the pie crust and then garnish with something to make it pretty. I used cut up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (because really you can never have too many peanut butter cups!)

Before I post the final creation, here are the two important lessons I learned while making this pie:

#1 if someone looks in your garbage right after you make this pie chances are they might think that you just broke up with your boyfriend...

 #2 when they say "whip until stiff peaks form" you should listen to them...

And there it is: Pie #3 The Reese's Peanut Butter Pie - it's just one more way to eat a Reese's (I know, corny).
