Waffle cone crust:

Directions:
1. Break cones in half, reserving tips for later.

3. Add sugar, peanut butter, melted butter and graham crumbs into food processor and mix until evenly coated and it clings together (you can also do this by hand if you don't have a food processor)

5. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Filling:

½ cup chunky peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese
2 tsp vanilla
1 (1 litre) container of Cool Whip
½ cup icing sugar
4 tsp egg replacement
***You can use any other egg replacement that is equivalent to 4 whole eggs:
Other options:
1. 2 tbsp water mixed with 1 tbsp of oil and 2 tbsp of baking powder per egg. Mix together well before adding to replace one egg
2. Yogurt: use 2 to 4 oz of yogurt plus half a tsp of oil to replace one egg
(If you use either of the above, add a little more powdered sugar - about 1-2 Tblsp, depending on how sweet you like it)
Directions:
1. Beat cream cheese, ½ cup of peanut butter and vanilla.
2. Then beat in egg replacement and powdered sugar
3. Fold Coolwhip into peanut butter cream cheese mixture.
4. Pour into chilled pie shell.

1/4 cup peanuts (unsalted)
2 Tblsp of butter
1 Tblsp peanut butter
2/3 cup oreo cookie crumbs
3 Tblsp toffee bits

2. Add the peanut butter, oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter to the peanuts and mix in the food processor for another 15 seconds or so (you can mix by hand if you don't have a food processor)
3. Mix in toffee bits
4. Sprinkle over pie
5. Freeze for 1 hour
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
1. Drizzle chocolate syrup over each piece of pie prior to serving (optional)

3. Be prepared to give everyone the recipe when they ask!
