- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat until smooth and well blended.
- Add chocolate chips and whipped topping: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and whipped topping until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

- Chill the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.

- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
- To make this dessert vegan, replace cream cheese and whipped topping with vegan alternatives and ensure chocolate chips are dairy free.
- This pie is best served within 2 days of preparation for optimal freshness.
