   • Crush the Nutter Butter cookies in a zipper-style plastic bag using a rolling pin, or pulse them in a food processor until finely ground.
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter until well mixed.

2. Form the Crust:

   • Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, forming an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crumbs firmly into place.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well blended.

4. Incorporate Cool Whip:

   • Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of thawed Cool Whip topping into the peanut butter mixture until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping too much.

5. Fill the Crust:

   • Spoon the peanut butter filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

6. Freeze the Pie:

   • Place the assembled pie in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until it becomes firm and set.

7. Serve:

   • Prior to serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until it is soft enough to cut into slices.
   • Garnish the pie with additional dollops of Cool Whip topping and whole Nutter Butter cookies, if desired, for an extra touch of indulgence.

8. Optional Enhancement:

   • For an extra special presentation, just before serving, drizzle chocolate-flavored syrup on individual plates before placing the slices of pie.

9. Alternative Crust Option:

   • If preferred, you can omit the Nutter Butter cookie crust and use an Oreo cookie crust instead, following the same instructions for preparation and assembly.

This delightful Nutter Butter Frozen Peanut Butter Pie offers a creamy, indulgent treat that’s perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a weeknight dessert or a special gathering. Enjoy the rich peanut butter flavor combined with the irresistible crunch of Nutter Butter cookies in every decadent bite!
