Is there any better combo in the world than chocolate and peanut butter?!?

For me- maybe dark chocolate and peanut butter...but that is a match made in heaven!

Using just 6 ingredients, this sweet dish is basically a giant peanut butter cup! First, gluten free Oreos and melted butter are combined and pressed into the pie plate, creating the crunchy crust. Then, it's baked for a few minutes until set. Next, cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and whipped topping are blended until smooth. Now, spread the rich custard into the cooled crust. You can top with crushed Oreos, peanut butter cups, or a chocolate or peanut butter drizzle. Finally, the pie needs to be refrigerated for a few hours to set up. This pie can even be placed in the freezer for a cooler treat!

It's easy to see why this make-ahead dessert is an easy crowd-pleaser!
