Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Ganache

2½ cups milk chocolate chips
1½ tbsp vegetable oil

Chunky Peanut Butter Filling

1⅓ cup powdered sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1¼ cup crunchy peanut butter
½ cup salted sweet cream butter

Instructions

Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crunchy peanut butter, and salted sweet cream butter. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spoon to blend these ingredients until smooth and well incorporated, forming a thick, chunky filling.
Assemble the Pie Base: If using a pre-made graham cracker crust or homemade crust, spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the base. Press lightly to ensure a solid layer.
Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate chips combined with vegetable oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Top the Pie: Pour the warm chocolate ganache over the peanut butter filling layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the ganache to level and cover the filling completely.
Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or until the ganache is set and the filling is firm. This chilling step is critical for the pie to hold its shape and for flavors to meld together.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, slice the pie and serve. Optionally, garnish slices with additional peanut butter cups, crushed peanuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.

Notes

Use crunchy peanut butter to add texture that complements the smooth ganache.
The pie must be refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours to set properly; overnight chilling is ideal.
If desired, substitute milk chocolate chips with semi-sweet or dark chocolate for a less sweet variation.
For easier slicing, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
