Ingredients You’ll Need
For this chocolate peanut butter pie, we kept the ingredients pretty simple. However, to achieve the best peanut butter and chocolate taste, we used a few special items. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Oreo Cookies – We found that including these specialty Oreos took this recipe to the next level. However, if you can’t find them at your store, regular Oreos or any chocolate creme cookie will do.
- Peanuts – We like to use lightly salted peanuts.
- Unsalted Butter – Salted butter is much too salty for this recipe!
- Creamy Peanut Butter -We like creamy, but chunky works too.
- Powdered Sugar – This is perfect for adding extra sweetness while creating a light, fluffy texture for the pie filling.
- Cream Cheese – The key to a thick center, cream cheese helps create a thick, soft center.
- Milk – For the best taste, we like to use whole milk, but any percentage you have is fine!
- Whipped Topping – Any kind of whipped topping like cool whip is great.
- Peanut Butter Cups – We use classic Reese’s peanut butter cups!
- Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix – If you prefer, homemade pudding can be used as well.
- Chocolate Sauce – This is technically optional, but you can never have enough chocolate, right?!

With all its layers this pie might look a little intimidating to make, but we promise it’s a breeze! Just follow the steps below.

Refrigerator: Covered in an airtight container this pie will last for 3-4 days.
