Finely crush the Oreos with a food processor, blender, or in a Ziploc bag. Stir crumbs together with 8 tablespoons melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Freeze crust for 10 minutes until set.
Add the remaining 8 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the crust into a smooth layer. Place back in freezer.
Place chocolate chips and remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a large glass or heat-proof bowl. In a saucepan, bring heavy whipping cream to a rolling simmer over medium-high heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and peanut butter and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until completely smooth. Pour the chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hours until ready to serve.

Lrd on 2021-11-28 (5 stars): FINALLY NO CREAM CHEESE, NO Cool WHIP! This is SOOO much better! This is TRUE PB PIE
Amanda MacIntire on 2020-04-29 (5 stars): This is the most incredible, decadent, luscious, rich and ...did I say incredible? pie. Ever. I made this for company and it received rave reviews. I chose to use plain chocolate cookies instead of Oreos; I find the filling adds too much sweetness when the filling and ganache are perfect. Yummy good.
Dedrick on 2020-05-01 (5 stars): Although a bit too sweet for me, I love this pie. I will,probably use less sugar next go round. I used Kroger’s natural crunchy peanut butter and it was delicious. I also made a graham cracker crust as I had those ingredients.
Marcy on 2020-08-15 (5 stars): I was looking for a peanut butter pie filling they didn’t have a ton of dairy and happened upon this recipe. I doubled this recipe and piped it in a trifle I made for my sister’s birthday party. So yummy? Someone said it tasted like peanut butter dreams in a cup...and they were right. I’ll try it sometime as a pie but this filling works great on its own too. Thanks for a versatile recipe.
Eliza on 2020-12-26 (5 stars): This is a great recipe, however I found the filling to taste just like plain peanut butter so I added about 2 tablespoons more powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of cream and whipped it into the filling and that made it perfect!
Amanda on 2020-11-27 (5 stars): Oh my gosh!!!!! This is the best pie I have EVER had! Super fun and easy to make! I made it vegan, nut-free, and gluten free! (Subbed out for vegan butter, Enjoy Life chocolate chips coconut cream, sunbutter, and Glutino sandwich cookies) Out of control amazing! Thank you for making this Covid Thanksgiving so much sweeter!! ?
Jill on 2021-07-21 (5 stars): This is one my favorite desserts, not many restaurants offer and never quite same, often skimpy ingredients. I searched high/low for a good recipe, tried at least 6 before I found this one. It is by far the BEST true peanut butter pie you can find, I make it according to recipe using 8X8 dish. I do add extra oreos because my family likes more of a crust :-)
I have been making this for several years, it is AMAZING! Yes you can only eat a small piece but isnt that what makes a dessert so decadent?
I find myself coming to this site first for all my recipes, never disappoint, all started with this peanut butter pie.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your recipes are amazing.
Audrey C on 2021-11-16 (5 stars): What brand chocolate chips and peanut butter do you think is best?
Kris Alllen on 2022-11-06 (5 stars): To die for (maybe literally!). This dessert was soooo good! A simple recipe, but kind of a lot of work. Crumbling the Oreos took some time & energy, but in the end it was well worth it.
Buffy on 2022-11-23 (5 stars): I made this and the Salted Caramel pie with my two daughters today. They licked every bowl clean because the ingredients were simply amazing. Thank you for creating the easy step by step directions. The girls opted for using their pie dishes because “they are more Thanksgiving-ish.” I am hoping we don’t struggle getting the pieces out tomorrow. The pies look impressive!!
Kathy on 2023-02-24 (5 stars): I’ve now made this recipe at least 8 times—it’s my step-son’s favorite, and he demands it every year for his birthday. Sooo easy to make and beyond delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Spring on 2023-07-22 (5 stars): This turns out perfectly! I am wondering if there is a way to cut down on the butter? Anyone try that? ?
Kim on 2023-12-22 (5 stars): Easy and delicious every time.
Anne D on 2023-12-28 (5 stars): Great recipe! I made them into 24 bars, as suggested by several others. I can’t imagine eating these as a whole piece of pie, as they are very rich. I used a 9x9 square pan lined with parchment paper and sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Everything stayed together perfectly. As a note, these *need* to be refrigerated. If you remove them, they turn into goo.
Jenna on 2024-07-05 (2 stars): This recipe was easy enough to make, but I was not a fan of the taste. The pie is VERY dense, VERY rich, and has enough butter to make you feel sick after one small slice. The Oreo crust was very tasty though.
