Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg white and vanilla until combined. Beat in flour. Stir in oats and finely crushed graham crackers.
2.
Using your damp fingers, press oat mixture onto bottom and up the side of the prepared pie plate, pressing mixture slightly up onto edge of pie plate. Line crust with a double thickness of foil that has been lightly coated on the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 8 minutes. Carefully remove foil. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes more or until crust is lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
3.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pudding mix and milk; whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes or until starting to thicken. Pour into cooled crust, spreading evenly. Spread dessert topping over pudding layer. Cover loosely. Chill for 1 to 24 hours before serving. To serve, sprinkle with peanuts and drizzle with ice cream topping.
