If you’re a peanut butter and chocolate lover, this pie is your dream come true! A rich, creamy peanut butter filling sits inside a flaky pre-baked pie crust, topped with silky smooth chocolate ganache and finished with Reese’s candies for the ultimate indulgence.

Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust
  • 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

For Garnish:

  • Assorted Reese’s candies (Reese’s Pieces, Mini Reese’s Cups, etc.)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Ganache

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and ½ cup heavy cream.
  2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Let the ganache cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

  1. Pour the warm chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  2. Decorate with Reese’s candies for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2–4 hours, or until the ganache is set.
  2. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Crunchy Peanut Butter? – Swap creamy for crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
  • Extra Crunch? – Add a layer of crushed peanut butter cookies at the bottom before adding the filling.
