Ingredients + Optional Swaps
- 2 ½ cups milk chocolate chips: You can substitute with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet version.
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil: This helps the chocolate melt smoothly. You can use coconut oil or canola oil as alternatives.
- 1 ⅓ cups powdered sugar: Adds sweetness and structure to the filling. Sift it first for a smoother texture.
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not in ingredient list, but needed): Use shelf-stable peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butters may be too oily.
Helpful Tips
- Use a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or a springform pan for easy release.
- Let the pie chill for at least 1–2 hours before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish.
- For extra crunch, stir in crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs into the peanut butter layer.
