Decadent Peanut Butter Pie

1 cup creamy peanut butter, plus 2 Tbs divided
8oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
12oz container (4 1/2 cups) frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 prepared chocolate pie crust
11.75oz jar hot fudge spoonable ice cream topping, divided

1) Beat together 1 cup peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with an electric mixer on medium until well combined. Gently mix in 3 cups whipped topping until thoroughly combined. Gently mix in 3 cups whipped topping until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into pie crust. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie.
2) Reserve 2 Tbs of hot fudge topping in the corner of a resealable food storage bag; set aside. Microwave remaining topping on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir. Spread topping over pie, covering entire peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until set. Spread remaining whipped topping (1 1/2 cups) over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.
3) Cut a small corner from bag containing topping. Squeeze bag to drizzle topping over pie. Place remaining 2 Tbs peanut butter in a resealable food storage bag; cut bag corner and squeeze to drizzle in opposite direction from topping. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Review: Careful with the hot fudge - mine exploded out of the jar in the microwave! This was unbelievably rich and very strong on the peanut butter taste. Yum!!
