Ingredients
1 ¼ cups chocolate wafer crumbs
¼ cup melted butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups rice cereal
1 cup heavy cream
⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
1.
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even layer.
2.
In another bowl, blend together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined. Gently fold in the rice cereal until evenly incorporated.
3.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
4.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it is just beginning to simmer. Do not let it come to a full boil.
5.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chocolate chips, stirring continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
6.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly across the top with a spatula if necessary.
7.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until fully set. The pie can also be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator overnight.
8.
Once set, slice the pie and serve chilled. For added flair, garnish with additional chocolate shavings or chopped peanuts before serving.
