Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie has a bottom and a top made from melted semi-sweet chocolate with a creamy peanut butter layer sandwiched in between.

Oh, and a buttery, tender pie crust. It’s like one giant peanut butter cup. The ultimate chocolate and peanut butter dessert.

Dessert doesn’t get any better than this.  

Except for baking the pie crust, this pie is totally no-bake. I use a refrigerated pie crust for ease and simplicity but you could definitely make one from scratch.

Peanut Butter Layer

The peanut butter layer is a fabulous mixture of butter, brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, and whipped topping. It has a fantastically creamy texture.

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

More detailed instructions in recipe card below.

1. Bake Pie Crust. You can use either a store-bought refrigerated pie crust or a homemade pie crust.
2. Make Chocolate Filling. Melt butter and chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of water over low heat. Whisk in powdered sugar.
3. Make Peanut Butter Filling. Heat the butter and brown sugar until butter is melted. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool. Then beat in peanut butter and Cool Whip.
4. Make Chocolate Topping.

Finish it off with some whipped cream and crushed peanuts and you have one fantastic looking dessert! Definitely one of the best easy peanut butter pie recipes I’ve made.
