Chocolate Peanut Pie

Chocolate Peanut Pie – this easy to make pie is fudgy and rich, with a little salty note from the dry-roasted peanuts.

This Chocolate Peanut Pie is without a doubt one of the easiest pies you’ll ever make, and one of the most delicious! If using a store-bought frozen pastry crust, you’re already halfway there. One bowl is all you need to mix up this simple and sweet chocolate peanut filling.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again, simple pies are some of the best!

This rustic pie may look a little homely, but I guarantee it’s loaded with charm. It’s made with simple pantry ingredients and good quality chocolate (not chocolate chips). We’ve stuffed a whole 2 1/2 cups of salted, dry-roasted peanuts in this pie too! Check for peanuts in the bulk bins at your local grocery store.

Ingredients needed to make this Chocolate Peanut Pie:

• 9-inch unbaked pie crust
• good quality semi-sweet chocolate (not chocolate chips)
• unsalted butter
• granulated sugar
• corn syrup
• eggs
• vanilla
• peanuts

How to make this easy Chocolate Peanut Pie:

1. First, prepare a single 9-inch pie crust. You can use homemade, refrigerated or frozen. It’s all good!
2. Next prepare the filling: In a large microwave safe mixing bowl combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Heat and stir until melted.

3. Add the sugar, corn syrup, eggs and vanilla. Stir until well blended. Add the peanuts and stir gently until combined.

4. Pour the filling into the prepared, unbaked crust.

5. Finally, bake the pie for 50 minutes or until the filling is firm to the touch, 2-inches from the edge.

Once cooled, slice and serve!

We love the contrasting textures in this peanut pie.

The filling is fudgy and just a little gooey and there’s plenty of crunch from the salted peanuts. The top caramelizes into a crispy layer almost like a soft brittle. Oh my goodness, this is one decadent slice of pie!

There’s no need to dress up this Chocolate Peanut Pie with whipped cream or ice cream, but you can if you want. I love a slice just like this, no adornment necessary, and you may or may not even need a fork!

Can you make this pie ahead?

This Chocolate Peanut Pie can be made the day before it’s needed. Store lightly covered at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature or refrigerated for longer storage.

Take this Chocolate Peanut Pie to your next holiday gathering and be the hit of the party! Who can resist this perfect pie combo?
