Triple Peanut Pizza

1 tube (18oz) refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough

1 cup (6oz) semisweet chocolate chips

1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softened

½ cup creamy peanut butter

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups chopped peanut butter cups

(about 15 large)

Press cookie dough onto a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Bake at 350̊ for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand for 4-5 minutes. Spread melted chips over crust. Freeze for 10 minutes or until set.

Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy. Spread over the chocolate. Sprinkle with the peanut butter cups. Chill until serving. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield 12-14 slices.
