Instructions

Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking pan with aluminium foil.
In a large bowl beat the cream cheese until soft.
8 Ounce Cream Cheese
Then mix in the powdered sugar and peanut butter.
1 Cup Powdered Sugar, 1 Cup Peanut Butter
Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping until even.
2 Cups Whipped Topping
Spread 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter filling on the bottom of the dish. Then place a layer of graham crackers on top. You'll need to break some crackers, or maybe trim them to create one even layer.
8-12 Graham Crackers
Spread about 1/2 of the peanut butter layer over top of the crackers.
Then place a second layer of crackers over top.
Spread the rest of the peanut butter mixture over top.
Top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped topping and decorate with peanut butter candies.

Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours to chill before serving. *
To serve, lift the cake out of the pan using the overhang of the aluminium foil. Then cut into squares.

Notes

* If you prefer a softer icebox cake, chill in the fridge. If you prefer a consistency more like ice cream, then chill the cake in the freezer. If chilling in the freezer, make the cake through step 8, then place it in the freezer to chill. Add the whipped cream topping and peanut butter candies right before serving. **If storing the cake in the fridge, the cake is best if served the same day that you made it. But leftovers can be kept for up to 2 days, after that the crackers get too soggy.
