  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light, airy texture.

  2. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let it set.

Step 4: Add toppings (Monster Mode!)

  2. Sprinkle crushed peanuts or mini peanut butter cups for extra “monster” crunch.
  3. Optional: pipe whipped cream swirls around the edge.
