This chocolate peanut butter treat is a dream come true for anyone who loves the classic combo. Between the crunchy cookie bottom, smooth peanut butter middle, and decadent chocolate top layer, you get an amazing no-bake dessert that's impossible to resist. Whenever I bring this to gatherings, everyone asks me how to make it because they can't get enough.

What Makes This So Good

You won't need to fire up your oven for this eye-catching sweet. From the snap of the base to the cloud-like center and glossy top, the textures work together perfectly. It's basically a supersized peanut butter cup that tastes even better than the original.

Ingredients You'll Need

Grab some semi sweet chocolate chips for just the right sweetness without being too much. The ganache gets its velvety feel from heavy cream. Mix together crushed Nutter Butters and Oreos for a tastier base. The filling becomes incredibly airy when you blend smooth peanut butter with whipped cream cheese and Cool Whip. And don't skip the Reese's pieces on top - they really make it look fantastic.

Putting It Together

First tackle your ganache by warming the cream and pouring it over your chocolate chips until they turn completely smooth. Combine your cookie crumbs with butter and push them into the pie dish. To make the filling, mix your peanut butter with cream cheese and powdered sugar, then gently add Cool Whip until it's airy and light. Stack everything in the dish, finish with ganache and cut-up Reese's cups, and let it sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Customization Ideas

Try changing the base using just Oreos, only Nutter Butters, or even graham crackers if that's what you like. Need to save time? Just use store-bought hot fudge instead of making ganache. Want something less indulgent? The pie still tastes wonderful with reduced-fat Cool Whip and cream cheese.

Storage Tips

This treat will stay fresh in your fridge for around 4 days if you keep it covered. You can also stick it in the freezer for up to 4 months - just thaw it before you serve it. For clean, pretty slices, run your knife under hot water and wipe it between cuts.

Ingredients

01 12 Nutter Butter cookies.
02 12 Oreo cookies.
03 6 tablespoons melted salted butter.
04 3/4 cup heavy cream.
05 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
06 8 Reese's cups.
07 8 ounces of softened whipped cream cheese.
08 1 cup of smooth peanut butter.
09 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip.
10 1/3 cup powdered sugar.

Instructions

Step 01

Pop it in the fridge for at least 3 hours so it sets nicely before slicing.

Step 02

Smooth the creamy peanut butter filling over the crust, then drizzle the ganache on top. Scatter Reese's pieces over it all to finish.

Step 03

Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter in a bowl. Stir until it's silky smooth, then gently mix in the Cool Whip.

Step 04

Crush the cookies separately using a blender or food processor. Mix each batch with 3 tbsp of butter, then press both into a pie dish. Pop it in the freezer to firm up.

Step 05

Warm up the cream in the microwave until it's steaming. Drop in the chocolate chips, leave it for a few minutes, then stir it all into a smooth mix.

Notes

  1. Hot fudge can swap in for the ganache if you're short on time.
