Peanut Butter Cup Chess Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 6–8 mini peanut butter cups, chopped

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp chopped peanuts

  • Additional mini peanut butter cups for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt.

  3. Add eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.

  4. Fold in peanut butter and chopped mini peanut butter cups.

  5. Pour filling into the prepared pie crust and bake 40–45 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Cool slightly.

  6. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream until smooth. Let cool slightly.

  7. Spread chocolate evenly over the top of the cooled pie.

  8. Sprinkle chopped peanuts and additional mini peanut butter cups over the chocolate layer.

  9. Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set before slicing.

This creates a rich, layered peanut butter and chocolate dessert with extra crunch and indulgence.
