How to Make a Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted salted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    • First Chocolate Layer: Pour half of the melted chocolate into a 9-inch non-stick tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set slightly.
    • Add Peanut Butter Filling: Once the first chocolate layer is set but still slightly tacky, press the peanut butter mixture evenly over it, leaving a small gap around the edges.
    • Top Chocolate Layer: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it to cover completely and fill the edges.
  4. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least one hour, or until fully set.
  5. Serve: Once set, remove the pie from the tart pan, slice, and enjoy!
