Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Line the bottom of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a medium heat-safe bowl. Heat for 45 to 55 seconds, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  • Pour half of the melted chocolate into the prepared tart pan, spreading evenly on the bottom and sides. Refrigerate to chill while preparing the filling.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and softened butter. Microwave for 45 seconds, then stir thoroughly to combine.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture into the powdered sugar and graham cracker mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  • Remove the tart pan from the refrigerator and spread the peanut butter filling evenly at the bottom using a spatula.
  • Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, smoothing it evenly to the edges.
  • Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
  • When ready to serve, loosen the tart pan edges and invert the pie onto a serving plate, carefully removing the parchment paper.
  • Slice into wedges and serve chilled or at room temperature for best texture and cleaner cuts.

Notes

Let the pie sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing for a smoother cut. Use a warm knife to avoid cracking the chocolate shell.
