Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 15 minutes to set.
Make the filling base: In a large mixing bowl, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Incorporate whipped cream: Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully incorporated, creating a light, fluffy filling.
Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top evenly.
Add toppings: Top the pie with honeycomb candy pieces and drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel if desired.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
Use whipped heavy cream for a light texture; homemade whipped cream works best.
Chilling the crust before filling helps it hold shape and prevents sogginess.
Honeycomb candy can be store-bought or homemade; handle gently to avoid breaking it into too small pieces.
Optional chocolate or caramel drizzle adds extra flavor and visual appeal.
This pie is best served chilled and kept refrigerated until serving to maintain texture.
