William's favorite Peanut butter pie with a chocolate shell

Peanut butter pie with a chocolate shell


CRUST:
1-1/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (20 cookies)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

OR
1 pre-made Keebler Oreo Cookie Crust
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter or (or chunky - I like smooth)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
OR
1 container of Cool Whip (Extra creamy)

Combine crust ingredients; press into a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375'F for 10
minutes. 
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, butter and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream or Cool Whip. Gently spoon into crust.
 Refrigerate.

When the pie has chilled, make the chocolate shell and pour over the top of the pie then refrigerate until the shell has hardened.
