You got chocolate in my peanut butter!
You got peanut butter on my chocolate! For those that don't know, Reese's made a thousand (it seems) variations on this theme.
Everyone from my generation has seen a version of this commercial. And they're right, some things really do pair well together. Even bring out the best in one another.
The BF and I have never been die hard peanut butter fans. I didn't grow up with PB&J sandwiches and hated all things peanuty, while he was...what's the phrase? [Ed. note: Psychotically nonplussed.] I have since learned the error of my ways. Peanut butter and chocolate is to die for, and this tart is like a giant Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in pie form–only way better.
I first made this last year and was shocked at how good it turned out. Silky, creamy, decadent. The BF even loved it, which of course is something I always aim for. Now, it's a go-to for parties, celebrations, catering events, and lo and behold, I keep getting invited back whenever I bring it!
If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, make this for them (or for you). You won't be sorry. You can even make individual parfaits out of this recipe. Place crumbled cookie crust on bottom of your chosen vessel. Spoon the peanut butter filling over the crumbled cookie. Top with ganache and chopped peanuts. See photo below.
