With a rich, creamy peanut butter filling encased in a luscious chocolate shell, this oversized version of the iconic candy bar is as impressive as it is delicious. Perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime you’re craving a decadent treat!
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Shell:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, for balance)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Make the Chocolate Shell: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Pour half of the melted chocolate into the prepared pan and spread it evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until set.
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer, smoothing the top with a spatula. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
- Serve: Remove the pie from the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into wedges and serve cold or at room temperature.
