Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the crumbs are well coated.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie pan (preferably 9 inches) and up the sides to form a crust.
  • Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then set it aside to cool completely.

2. Make the peanut butter filling:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar together until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until combined. The texture should be fluffy and light.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture into the cooled pie crust and spread it out evenly.

3. Prepare the chocolate topping:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate layer has set completely.

4. Decorate:

  • Once the pie has set, chop the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into small pieces and sprinkle them over the top of the pie.
  • Optionally, drizzle with extra peanut butter or add mini Reese’s Pieces for extra crunch.

5. Serve:

  • Slice the pie into wedges and enjoy the sweet, indulgent flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in every bite!
