01
Step 1
Start by combining the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm it up in the microwave for about 45 seconds until everything is melted and smooth. Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a pie plate, then add the peanut butter mixture on top. Give it a good stir to coat the crumbs, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the plate using the back of a spoon to form the crust.

Step 2
Next, in a stand mixer on low speed, blend together the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, and chocolate syrup until everything is well combined and creamy.

Step 3
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark and milk chocolate chips along with the vegetable oil. Heat it at half power, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth—this should take about a minute. Pour the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture and mix gently on low speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the filling is silky and smooth.

Step 4
Finally, pour the filling over the crust and pop the pie into the fridge. Let it chill for at least two hours until it’s completely set before serving.
