Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

1/4 cup mini marshmallows

1/4 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling on top)

Optional: additional toppings like chocolate syrup or more nuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pre-made pie crust in a pie dish and bake it for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

    Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and well-integrated, making sure there are no lumps.

      Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping.

        Add Crunch: Stir in the crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans (or walnuts). Mix until evenly distributed throughout the filling.

          Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the peanut butter and marshmallow filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

            Chill the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap or a pie dome and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create the perfect consistency.

              Serve: Once the pie is set, remove it from the refrigerator. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top and add any optional garnishes like chocolate syrup or additional nuts.

                Slice & Enjoy: Cut into slices and serve chilled. Enjoy the delightful mixture of flavors and textures in every bite!
