Reese's Peanut Butter Pie

Oh yes, you read that right, I created a pie today using Reese's peanut butter cups AND peanut butter cookies. You. Are. Welcome. 

This pie uses the same basic steps of my Snickers pie, just subbing different cookies and candy. Oh the possibilities with this base recipe are endless. 

Ingredients: 

1 bag mini Reese's cups

1 box peanut butter sandwich cookies

1/4 cup butter, melted

3 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 Tbs peanut butter

1 pie plate

Place cookies in food processor and blend until fine. Combine cookies with melted butter and press firmly in pie plate. Put pie crust in refrigerator while you prep the rest of the pie.

In a microwave safe bowl, place unwrapped Reese's cups and peanut butter. Microwave on high at 40 second increments until melted. (I actually didn't completely melt the cups, I like the idea of little bites of Reese's cups in the pie)

In separate bowl combine 2 cups heavy cream and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix on medium speed until semi firm peaks. (do NOT over mix your cream) 

Slowly fold melted chocolate mixture into heavy cream. Pour mixture into pie crust and return to fridge. Refrigerate 3-4 hours until serving. 

Serve topped with more whipped cream and maybe a little chocolate syrup? If you want to guild the lily, top with chopped Reese's cups too! :) 

Finish product picture to come tonight after I serve at family dinner.....are you salivating yet???
