Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart
So the last few days, my mom has been visiting. The hubs has been out of town, so we’ve been enjoying some girl time.
Honestly, she’s been spoiling me a bit. First of all, she brought crab legs for dinner one night and we had sushi last night. Two of my favorite things. #spoiled
And as usual, she’s been cleaning my house. In fact, she claims that’s the real reason she’s here. I won’t even tell you all that she’s done, but I will tell you that everything she cleans, she cleans better than me. It’s a gift. For both of us.
When she’s here cleaning, we always laugh over how funny it is that we can be so different when it comes to cleaning and baking. I much prefer baking and making the mess and she feels super satisfied when it’s clean. We’ve decided that makes us the perfect pair. 🙂
And in return for her cleaning, I’m doing something for her that she doesn’t care for – baking.
She is not a baker. She is a cook. Believe it or not, I actually grew up cooking with her. I have always loved desserts, but making them is something that I began doing as an adult. I actually used to cook – a lot.
So this weekend, my parents are meeting up with some friends and she’s been asked to bring dessert. Since she is not into making dessert (like, at all) she was a little bewildered at what to bring.
Then my dad pointed out she’d be here with me, so she could just bring her cake carrier (that is reserved for my desserts) and bring stuff home. So in exchange for her general awesomeness and cleaning skills, I am making her desserts.
The craziest part? She thinks it’s a fair trade.
Don’t tell her, but I totally have the better end of the deal. 😉
This isn’t one of the deserts I made her, though I did make her another kind of tart, in addition to some other things.
This Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart is seriously amazing. It was even more delicious than I thought it’d be. You could kind of think of it like a big Reese’s cup, but maybe better with the addition of an Oreo crust.
How to Make a Reese’s Chocolate Tart
You’ll want to have a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. The removable bottoms are quite handy.
Press the Oreo crust into the pan, then make the peanut butter ganache. To do that, just put your peanut butter chips and whipping cream in a heat proof bowl in the microwave and heat them until the cream boils. Whisk it until smooth, then pour in the crust and spread evenly.
You’ll refrigerate it until it’s firm enough that when you add the chocolate ganache on top, they remain separate layers. You could mix them, if you wanted, and not have to worry about the refrigeration time at this point, but I liked them as separate layers.
Once it’s firm enough, repeat the ganache making process with the chocolate chips. Top it with Reese’s and refrigerate until firm.
So. Darn. Easy. And you wouldn’t believe the rave reviews I got. It might just be the most bang I’ve ever gotten for my dessert-making-bucks. Easy and a massive hit! Cha-ching!

Hi what kind of chocolate chips did you use?
I typically use semi sweet chocolate chips.
Can you freeze the Reeses Chocolate Peanut Butter tart dessert after making?
I haven’t tried it, but think it might be fine. If you defrost it later, I’d probably recommend putting it in the fridge to defrost.
Thank you!! I have made 20 of these within the last 2 weeks. I have 11 in my refrigerator right now for a tailgate party tomorrow. Everyone so far has loved them!! So simple and easy to make.
Wonderful! So glad to hear that!
Looks scrumptious. But….I’d be a little afraid to microwave the choc chips and cream for that long. I would go maybe 20 seconds at a time and stir/whisk in between.
You could certainly do it that way. I also often microwave the heavy cream until boiling, then pour it over the chocolate/peanut butter chips and allow it to sit for a few minutes before whisking it until smooth. It all melts either way. 🙂
Hi Lindsay!!! I am willing to bake your recipe but I live in Brazil. I am afraid we don’t have peanut butter chips here. Any idea of how I could replace the chips?? Hope you can help me. Thank you so much!!! Your recipes are lovely.
I haven’t tried a replacement, so I’m not sure. I’m sorry.
Thank you SO much for this incredible recipe! I made it last night for the first time for a party we were hosting (not always a good idea, trying something new for an event), but it was WILDLY popular! I never got to taste it, but the reviews were outstanding! I’ll definitely be making it again. Thanks so much! 🙂
Terrific! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it!
That looks utterly delicious, and I guess it is. What a perfect recipe for the weekend!
Looks delicious! Now I know what to prepare for my husband birthday 😀
Can I use a bundt cake pan instead of tart pan?
I don’t think that would turn out very well.
Can you do this a day before, or will it be too hard? thanks!!
Yes, you can do it a day before. It’ll be fine.
Can you use a 9 x 13 pan instead?
Hmm, I suppose so. You’d probably need to double it though.
Does the crust include the oreo cream centers?
Yes, it does.
This peanut butter and chocolate tart is the stuff of my dreams! I don’t really have a sweet tooth – although I love baking and making cakes, etc – but when it comes to the glorious combination of PB & choc. I’m sold. I need to eat this tart now. Will get ingredients with shopping, so will have to wait – sad face!! Thank you for posting beautiful pictures and a fab recipe. Sammie x
I made this for my daughter’s 4th birthday party this past weekend. It was a HUGE hit. My only fail was that I have an 11-inch tart pan, so I just made a little more ganache to spread around 🙂 Very few slices were left.
I’m so glad it was a hit!
How many cups of peanut butter ganache does this recipe make? I was thinking that I might replace that with regular creamy peanut butter… do you think that would make a big difference? Thanks for the recipe 🙂 it is so much more simple than others that I’ve seen online. (sorry if this shows up more than once… I have a bad connection and had to push the post button a few times!)
It’s probably between 1/2 and 3/4 cup. It would change it up, but I think that’d b great too.
This looks incredible! Definitely something I’m going to make soon. I just had one question – did you really use equal amounts of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips? The chocolate layer just looks so much thicker in the picture…
I think it might just be the way it looks in the picture, or maybe the way it got layered together. It is equal parts of peanut butter and chocolate chips.
My wife made this yesterday. She told me she found the recipe here – THANK YOU.
I have a new favorite dessert…at least for this week.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Doug! 🙂
