Ingredients

1 9-inch deep dish pie crust homemade or store bought

Filling

10 ounces peanut butter chips
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
3 Tablespoons salted butter
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Topping

1 and ½ cups dry roasted peanuts I used salted
⅓ cup caramel sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. If you're making your pie crust, roll it out on a floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Crimp edges and prick the bottom and sides with a fork. (For store-bought crust, skip to the next instruction.)
1 9-inch deep dish pie crust
Line pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment paper and bake for another 15 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
Combine peanut butter chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until melted.

Add marshmallows, stir to combine. It's okay if some melt, but I didn't melt all of the marshmallows.
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Pour the filling into the baked pie crust. Sprinkle peanuts evenly over the filling.
1 and ½ cups dry roasted peanuts
Microwave the caramel for 30 to 60 seconds. Stir. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the peanuts on top of the pie.
⅓ cup caramel sauce
Refrigerate for 4 hours until set before slicing.

💡 Tips for the Best Results

Let the pie chill completely before cutting for clean slices.
Line the pie crust with pie weights while baking to help prevent shrinking.
Use room-temperature heavy cream so it blends smoothly into the caramel.
A sharp knife wiped clean between slices gives the neatest presentation.
