Ingredients
  

For the Crust and Chocolate Layer
  • 2.5 cups milk chocolate chips For melting
  • 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil To mix with chocolate for a smooth texture
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs For the crust
For the Peanut Butter Filling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line the bottom of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium heat-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat for 45-55 seconds, stirring until smooth.
  3. Spread half of the melted chocolate into the tart pan, covering the bottom and sides. Chill in the refrigerator.
Mixing Peanut Butter Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs.
  2. In another heat-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and salted sweet cream butter. Heat for about 45 seconds and stir until smooth.
  3. Add the peanut butter mixture to the powdered sugar mixture and whisk until well combined.
Assembling the Pie
  1. Spread the peanut butter mixture into the chilled chocolate-coated tart pan.
  2. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top and smooth it out.
  3. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Release the pie by gently pressing the sides of the tart pan. Flip onto a serving platter, slice, and serve.
  2. Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Notes

For extra peanut buttery goodness, increase the peanut butter by half a cup. Consider using a mix of milk and dark chocolate for depth of flavor, and add a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
