Peanut Butter Cup Pie
on Nov 10, 2020
Throw that diet out the window and grab a piece of Peanut Butter Cup Pie! Every inch of this pie is filled with peanut butter and chocolate goodness so rich that one bite won’t be enough.
This no-bake pie only requires 5 ingredients (plus lots of candy, if you so choose) and is ready to eat right away. It can also be made ahead of time to help keep some of that Turkey Day chaos to a minimum. But, we’d like to add that even though it is pie season and we’re sharing these pie recipes leading up to Thanksgiving, Peanut Butter Cup Pie is so decadent that it would make a great substitute for a birthday cake or a treat for a church potluck. No matter when you choose to make and share it, we guarantee it will be a hit!
Peanut butter, sweetened cream cheese and whipped topping make up the filling that is good enough to eat alone by the spoonful (don’t ask us how we know!). But, the secret weapon of this pie is the pre-made chocolate nut crust from Diamond Nuts. We’ve used the pecan and walnut crusts from Diamond that are amazing in their own right, but chocolate nut is by far our favorite! If you can’t find them in your area, a graham cracker crust will make a fine substitute.
