Instructions

In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie plate to form an even crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely.
Spread the cooled chocolate pudding evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate until the pudding sets, about 1-2 hours.
In a separate bowl, whip together the peanut butter and cold milk. Add the vanilla flavor instant pudding mix and stir until smooth. Gently fold in the Cool Whip and chopped mini Reese’s peanut butter cups. Carefully spread this peanut butter mixture over the chocolate pudding layer.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the peanut butter filling layer.
Decorate the top of the pie with halved mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, and drizzle with chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours to allow the layers to firm up before slicing and serving.

Notes

This pie is best served chilled.

For a nut butter twist, substitute creamy peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter.

If mini Reese’s are unavailable, use regular-sized Reese’s or other peanut butter candies like peanut butter M&Ms or peanut butter chips.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

The pie holds up well when made a day ahead, as the flavors meld together.
