31 Peanut Butter Chocolate Desserts For All The Reese's Cup Lovers Out There

Hey, you got chocolate in our peanut butter!

Hey, you got chocolate in our peanut butter! Or is it peanut butter in our chocolate? Either way, we're really happy about it! Because why not have a dessert that has both of these iconic flavors in one? We'll never pass up an opportunity to have chocolate fluffernutter pie, chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, or flourless peanut butter chocolate cake, and neither should you.

Peanut butter and chocolate are just better together. And what better proof than biting into a sweet-salty Reese's cup or buckeye?! We took it upon ourselves to take these classic candy flavors and combine them with as many of our favorite cake, pie, and cookie recipes as possible. More is always better when it comes to PB + chocolate, and our recipes for Reese's chip cookies, buckeye brownies, and Reese's stuffed Rice Krispies Treats are full proof of our theory. So go on and be a maximalist (and share some of your Reese's peanut butter blondies with us).

Heading to a party or potluck? Don't arrive empty-handed! When your hosts see you bring our Nutter Butter cheesecake or peanut butter dessert lasagna, you're guaranteed to always be on the invite list. And if you're heading to any Christmas cookie exchanges this holiday season, you can never go wrong with bringing a batch of peanut butter blossoms, buckeye cookies, or air-fryer peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Got an urgent brownie craving coming? You're never more than 10 minutes away now that you can make our recipe for a peanut-buttery brownie in a mug, just saying. 😏

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

We gave the classic flourless chocolate cake an upgrade in the form of LOTS of peanut butter, and we think it's the cake you Reese's lovers have been dreaming of. The fancy stripes are optional—but who doesn't love a little extra peanut butter?!

Peanut butter pie just got a major upgrade. We added a quick, easy, and super-fluffy marshmallow cream on top instead of traditional whipped cream. The best part? This no-bake pie is a perfect make-ahead dessert, requiring little effort and a few hours of chilling time.

Buckeyes

Loaded with peanut butter and dipped in chocolate, these buckeyes are basically a homemade Reese’s peanut butter cup in truffle form. They’re easy to make and great for taking to parties—although if you do, you should probably attach a warning label to the plate. You won’t be able to have just one.

Peanut Butter Explosion Cakes

These are the best molten cakes, hands-down. The Instant Pot or air fryer are both able to gently cook them to pure decadence. The cake is so rich with a perfectly creamy center that's to live for.

Peanut Butter Cake

This cake was made with the peanut butter obsessed in mind: peanut butter cake, peanut butter frosting, AND peanut butter drizzle. We love whole chopped Reese's, but for a colorful (and still peanut-buttery) twist, use chopped Reese's Pieces instead! If this cake still isn't enough, then you must try this peanut butter pound cake.

Buckeye Cookies

We love buckeyes so much, we knew this flavor was bound to be pretty bomb in cookie form. The gooey peanut butter center in these chocolaty cookies is the best part.

Apparently, a woman by the name of Mrs. Freda F. Smith from Ohio developed the original recipe for The Grand National Pillsbury Bake-Off competition in 1957. She lost, but her cookies became legendary. These are definitely up there as one of our top favorite Christmas cookies.

If you need a quick and easy dessert, confetti squares are the perfect thing. They are a breeze to put together and after a quick chill in the fridge, everyone will go crazy for them. Rainbow marshmallows make for an extra fun pop of color, but if you have regular mini marshmallows on hand, those work just as great!
