The cream cheese also adds a richness that’s akin to finding a twenty-dollar bill in an old pair of jeans – unexpected but oh-so delightful.

And the pièce de résistance? A generous topping of hardened chocolate, mini Reese’s pieces, and, you guessed it, more Reese’s cups. It’s like we raided the candy aisle with reckless abandon.

This pie isn’t just a dessert; it’s a decadent escape from reality, where calories don’t exist, and the only rule is to enjoy every single bite.

So, grab your spatula, tie on your apron, and let’s dive into the world of Reese’s pie – a place where the streets are paved with peanut butter and the houses are made of chocolate.

Tips and Thoughts for This Recipe

Spread the chocolate out so it doesn’t get too thick in one area. If this happens, it will be harder to cut through the chocolate.

Presentation tip: make the halved Reese cups all face the same way when placing them in a ring.
