Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cup (140g) lightly packed digestive biscuit or graham cracker crumbs (9 biscuits/full sheets)
1 1/4 cup (150g) powdered sugar
Tiniest pinch of salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (144g) unsalted butter
1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons (269g) creamy peanut butter (not natural-style)
1 cup (180 g) chopped milk chocolate or chocolate chips
1/2 cup (90 g) chopped semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
1 tablespoon (13 g) vegetable shortening or flavorless oil

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, with a thin layer of oil or butter. Top the greased bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the shortening or oil with the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stopping and stirring in between until mostly melted. Continue to stir the chocolate mixture, until it has completely melted and very smooth.
  • Pour a little over half of the melted chocolate amount into the pan. Spread the chocolate all over the bottom, then use a small rubber spatula to bring up the chocolate over the sides. Make sure the entire pan is well coated. Chill in the freezer until set. Meanwhile, prepare the Peanut Butter Filling.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the biscuit/cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and salt to combine. Set aside.
  • In another small, microwave-safe bowl or liquid measuring cup, microwave together the butter and peanut butter until the butter has melted; about 1 minute. Stir well to combine. Pour over the dry crumb mixture and stir until well incorporated.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture over the chilled chocolate shell and smooth the surface. Shake and tap the tart pan over the counter to smooth out the top even further. Return the pan to the freezer for another 5 minutes to set the surface a little.
  • Reheat the remaining chocolate mixture until melted once again and is silky smooth. Pour over the peanut butter filling and smooth out with an offset spatula to cover the surface completely. Shake and tap the tart pan over the counter to achieve a smooth finish. If you happen to get a messy area of chocolate that hardened before you got a chance to smooth out, gently heat it with a blow dryer to smooth. Not even kidding lol! It's how I got mine looking so perfectly smooth :)
  • Refrigerate the tart until completely firm, about 3 hours. Unmold the giant peanut butter cup out of the pan, and peel off the parchment paper from the bottom. Use a sharp knife to smooth out uneven edges.
  • Cut into slices and serve either chilled, slightly cold or at room temperature. I personally prefer it slightly cold as it somehow tastes less sweet that way and the texture is at its best. The tart will keep well for 5-7 days stored in the refrigerator or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen slices overnight in the refrigerator.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray
2 cups (16 ounces) of smooth peanut butter
1 stick of butter (unsalted)
2 1/2 cups powder sugar

  • Melt the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate melts, stirring after each 30-second increment.
  • Spray a tart pan with cooking spray.

  • Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter and smooth into a thin layer, so that there are no gaps.
