Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Milk Chocolate Chips: Use this along with the vegetable shortening to make the smooth chocolate topping.

Peanut Butter: I like to use creamy peanut butter, but crunchy would work as well.

How To Make Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie

Step 1. Add 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp of vegetable shortening into a small glass heat-safe bowl. Place into the microwave to melt in 30-second increments. Make sure to mix between each interval until fully melted. Add into a 10-inch tart pan and coat the entire base and sides of the pan. Place into the fridge to set.

Step 2. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter into a large bowl and combine until smooth. Put the mixture into the prepared chococlate-coated pan and spread it out evenly. Add the rest of the chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp of shortening into a bowl and melt like before.

Step 3. Pour on top of the peanut butter filling and use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Make sure the chocolate covers the entire surface of the peanut butter mixture. Place Reese’s pie into the fridge to chill for approximately 1 hour. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Best Way To Decorate This Reese’s Pie?

You can use a variety of things to decorate this pie to make it pop. I like to add things like sprinkles or nonpareils to add color. You can also add bits of candy, chococlate chips, or shavings on top, or serve with fresh whipped cream. Things like caramel sauce or chocolate sauce are good options to drizzle on top.

How To Store Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie?

Place the leftover Reese’s Pie in an airtight container for the best storage method. You can keep this recipe at room temperature. However, to make it last as long as possible, I like to store it in the fridge or freezer.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor.
  • You can use crunchy peanut butter to add more texture or add crushed peanuts or rice Krispie’s cereal to the chocolate for more texture.
  • You can make mini versions of these by using a muffin or cupcake tin.

    What is the benefit to using shortening on the top instead of butter

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Amanda. The shortening or coconut oil work better mainly because butter contains water that may cause the melted chocolate to seize and also discolor when hardened.

  2. Karen says:

    Can this be frozen if you make it ahead of your event. How do I thaw it?

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Karen. Yes, this will freeze well but may discolor the chocolate. I would refrigerate prior to freezing and then thaw in the fridge or at room temp.

    I saw this recipe over a year ago and finally stopped being lazy and made it last night. The result was superb. My 17 year old son tore it up. Very delicious pie, especially if you like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups as much as we do.

    1. Jill says:

      Thanks Douglas!

  5. Anne H says:

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Anne. Yes you can use butter flavored Crisco and get the same results.

    Sounds great…Not sorry!

  9. Glenda says:

    How do you get it out of the pan without it breaking?

    1. Jill says:

      Glenda, the best way is to use a non-stick tart pan with a removable bottom.
