Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos, no filling)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts (chopped)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for topping)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped Payday candy bars or more chopped peanuts for topping
- Optional: sea salt flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter into a thick, crumbly mix. Press into a pie dish firmly to create a crunchy chocolate base.
- Pour caramel sauce over the crust and sprinkle chopped salted peanuts.
- Melt the chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream until silky smooth. Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy—then fold in the melted chocolate.
- Pour the creamy chocolate-peanut filling over the caramel-peanut layer. Smooth the top evenly. Chill for at least 4 hours.
- Before serving, drizzle caramel, add chopped Payday bars or peanuts, and finish with sea salt flakes.
Notes
- Chill for at least 4 hours for best results.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanuts and use a different topping.
