Instructions

Prepare the crumble mixture: Combine the confectioners’ sugar and ¼ cup peanut butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until small clumps form. The texture should resemble soft crumbs. Set aside.
Make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, milk, and ½ cup peanut butter. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens noticeably.
Lighten the texture: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped topping into the peanut butter pudding mixture. Stir just until smooth and fully blended.
Build the layers: Scatter half of the peanut butter crumbles evenly across the bottom of the cooled crust. Spoon the peanut butter filling over the crumbles and smooth it into an even layer.
Add the finishing touch: Spread or pipe the remaining whipped cream over the surface of the pie, covering it completely.
Top and chill: Sprinkle the rest of the peanut butter crumbles over the whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the pie to firm up before slicing.

Notes
