Press into bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate.

Mix cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.

Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups whipped topping.

Spoon into crust.

Freeze 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Let stand 1/2 hour or until pie can be cut.

Garnish with remaining whipped topping and additional cookies if desired.

Special extra: Just before serving, drizzle chocolate flavored syrup on plates.

*Ifdesired, omit Nutter Butter cookie crust and use an oreo crust instead.
