Oh no! The NEW Reese's Peanut Butter Cup pie has already sold out way before Thanksgiving. But, don't worry! I made a gluten-free copycat recipe that will knock your socks off!
Let's talk ingredients. Goodie Girl makes these awesome, crumbly cinnamon cookies that give the peanut butter filling a little something extra. And, of course, the recipe calls for creamy peanut butter. Keep reading for more information on the ingredients.

Equipment

Notes
- Tempering chocolate can be difficult and time-consuming. Ghirardelli actually makes some awesome chocolate that doesn't require tempering, and you can microwave it!
- This tart pan with the removable bottom is essential. Trust me.
- When cutting this pie, run a sharp knife under hot water first. That makes it easier to slice through the chocolate.
- This recipe is actually super easy!
