Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1¼ cups crunchy peanut butter
- ½ cup salted sweet cream butter
Instructions
- Prepare Tart Pan: Line the bottom circle of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a parchment paper circle and lightly spray the parchment with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Melt Chocolate Ganache: In a medium heat-safe mixing bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave for 45 to 55 seconds and stir until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat Tart Pan with Chocolate: Spoon half of the melted chocolate into the prepared tart pan. Using a large spoon or offset spatula, spread the chocolate evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Chill the tart pan in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Set aside.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium heat-safe mixing bowl, combine the crunchy peanut butter and butter. Microwave for 45 seconds, then stir thoroughly to combine.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until fully incorporated into a smooth filling.
- Fill Tart with Peanut Butter Mixture: Remove the chocolate-coated tart pan from the refrigerator. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly into the tart pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Top with Remaining Chocolate: Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly to the sides. Gently tap the pan to settle the chocolate.
- Chill: Chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
- Unmold and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the tart pan from the refrigerator. Press on the edges to loosen the sides, place a serving plate or cake circle on top, and carefully flip to remove the bottom of the tart pan and parchment paper. Slice into wedges and enjoy.
Notes
- If you do not have a parchment paper circle, spray the bottom of the pan generously with nonstick spray or lightly grease with butter.
- If the chocolate ganache becomes too firm while spreading the peanut butter layer, gently reheat it in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds to soften.
- Let the pie sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.
