Ingredients
  

Crust:

1 ½ cups of chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos or chocolate graham crackers)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping:

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons peanut butter

6-8 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated.

      - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form a crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

        Make the Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.

            - Add in the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and there are no lumps.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

                Assemble the Pie:

                  - Pour the filling into the cooled chocolate crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

                    Prepare the Topping:

                      - In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter together, stirring until smooth.

                        - Once the pie is set, drizzle the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the top. Use the back of a spoon to create a decorative pattern, if desired.

                          - Garnish with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups scattered on top for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

                            Serve:

                              - Slice the pie into generous pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy the perfect combination of creamy peanut butter and chocolate in every delightful bite!
