This took a bit of patience and a little extra work, but the result was worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These biscotti are so good people will think you picked them up at a bakery.

It&#8217;s very good and dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dangerous is right. The homemade peanut butter custard filling is very creamy. Dangerous is right. The homemade peanut butter custard filling is very creamy. On top, a tangy, sweet, and salty layer brings the pie to life.

The crispy chocolate shell with the smooth and creamy center is fantastic. I loved the bits of Reese&#8217;s cups in every bite.<\/p>\n<p>A chocolate graham cracker and nut crust adds a crunchy texture and is the perfect crust for this cheesecake. Add a drizzle of caramel and hot fudge, along with peanut butter cup halves, for even more goodness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/SugarGrace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mrs. D<\/a> shared her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/candy\/homemade-peanut-butter-cups-like-reeses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Homemade Peanut Butter Cups (Like Reeses)<\/a> recipe that lets me skip buying the treat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My daughter loves Reese&#8217;s cups and she says these taste just like them,&#8221; shares Mrs. D. &#8220;With this recipe, I usually end up with a lot more filling than chocolate because I make them in muffin tins. I just save the filling in the fridge or freezer to make another batch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With five ingredients, I can make the iconic cups at home. Crushed graham crackers combined with the peanut butter adds a slight texture to the filling. On top is a layer of chocolate that has a hint of peanut butter flavor.
