Okay, so I had this wild idea to make a giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie, and let me tell you, it was a journey. I started by gathering all the stuff I needed. We’re talking a ton of chocolate, a mountain of peanut butter, and a whole lot of sugar. I felt like a kid in a candy store, except I was the one buying the candy.
Making the Chocolate Shell
First, I melted a bunch of chocolate. I used those big chocolate bars, you know, the ones you usually only buy during the holidays? Well, I bought a few of those. I melted them down in a double boiler, which is basically just a fancy way of saying I put a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Stirred it until it was all smooth and glossy. It smelled so good, I almost ate it straight out of the bowl.
Then, I poured that melted chocolate into this huge pie tin. I made sure to spread it all around, up the sides and everything. I wanted a solid chocolate shell, like a regular Reese’s cup but, you know, giant. I popped that bad boy in the fridge to let it harden up. It felt like forever, but I kept myself busy.

Whipping Up the Peanut Butter Filling
Next up was the peanut butter filling. I took a couple jars of creamy peanut butter – none of that chunky stuff for this recipe, okay? – and mixed it with powdered sugar, butter, and a bit of vanilla extract. I just eyeballed the amounts, honestly. I tasted it as I went, adding more sugar until it was sweet enough, and a splash of vanilla because why not? I mixed it all together until it was nice and smooth. This was the kind of thing you could just eat with a spoon, but I had bigger plans.
Once the chocolate shell was all set, I took it out of the fridge. It was solid as a rock. I carefully scooped the peanut butter filling into the shell, spreading it evenly. This part was kind of tricky because I didn’t want to break the shell, but I managed.
Adding the Final Chocolate Layer
For the final touch, I melted even more chocolate. Because, of course. I poured that over the peanut butter filling, making sure it was completely covered. Then, back into the fridge it went. This time, the waiting was even harder. I kept checking on it, poking it gently to see if it was firm. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, it was ready.
Pulling it out of the fridge, it was a thing of beauty. A giant, glorious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie. I carefully cut a slice – a huge slice, of course – and took a bite. Oh man, it was good. So rich, so chocolatey, so peanut buttery. It was definitely worth all the effort. I shared it with some friends, and they were all blown away. It was a hit.
So, yeah, that’s how I made a giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie. It was a bit of a project, but honestly, it was fun. And the end result? Totally worth it. I felt like a mad scientist who had just created a delicious monster.
