Except for baking the pie crust, this pie is totally no-bake. I use a refrigerated pie crust for ease and simplicity but you could definitely make one from scratch.
Peanut Butter Layer
The peanut butter layer is a fabulous mixture of butter, brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, and whipped topping. It has a fantastically creamy texture.
How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
More detailed instructions in recipe card below.
- Bake Pie Crust. You can use either a store-bought refrigerated pie crust or a homemade pie crust.
- Make Chocolate Filling. Melt butter and chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of water over low heat. Whisk in powdered sugar.

Finish it off with some whipped cream and crushed peanuts and you have one fantastic looking dessert! Definitely one of the best easy peanut butter pie recipes I’ve made.
