Gluten Free REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Pie
REESE’S peanut butter cups are the number one candy in our house. Adam is a huge, huge fan. One year for Christmas, our friends gave him an entire shirt box stuffed with them. They barely lasted.
When I make a dessert, I always have Adam rate it on a scale of 1-10. The only desserts that get a 10 include chocolate and peanut butter, even better if they include REESE’S peanut butter cups too. This recipe, it was a perfect 10.
Cookies are another favorite around here. Actually, desserts in general because I can say that about cakes and pies too. (Please try not to say that like I do in my head – like the line from Deuce Bigelow… cakes and pies, cakes and pies…. Seriously I just can’t..)
But what I’m really trying to say is, anything and everything sweet is a hit. But one super special dessert that we really love – the cookie pie. Or as some of you know it, the pizookie recipe. Even better than a plain ol’ (delicious) cookie pie is a peanut butter cup cookie pie. Warm brown sugar peanut butter cookie cookie pie with warm, gooey, chocolatey peanut butter cups. Top it off with some ice cream and you’ve got yourself a party in your mouth. Yes puh-lease.
Also a yes please? Basketball in March. My family and I are big sports fans. College basketball is especially big around here since we don’t have our own in-state pro team to root for. So you know we’ll be noshing on some sweet treats as we (hopefully) watch our team cruise to victory. Hope I didn’t just jinx it…
Served straight up, this gluten free peanut butter cup cookie pie makes for a perfect, sweet snack. Great for hanging out with your friends watching some basketball, perfect for packing up and bringing to the park or wherever the snack attack hits.
Served a la mode, and you’ve got yourself a kicked up dessert. Cold vanilla ice cream pairs so well with a warm peanut butter cookie pie. It gets all melty and gooey and awesome.
For an even more decadent treat, turn it into a sundae. That’s right, turn that snacking slice in to the ultimate dessert. You won’t have a care in the world with this little ditty in your hands. Even if your bracket is completely destroyed.
Walmart has a really great display of REESE’S products ready to use for snacks and treats while you’re watching the basketball tournaments. Because, hello. What’s better than candy when you’re watching some action packed sports? Ok, candy and watching your team win. That’s a winning combination.
Speaking of winning, REESE’S is hosting a little competition of their own. They’re challenging you to submit your own REESE’S #SnackTalk recipe highlighting Reese’s products. Follow REESE’S on Twitter @ReesesPBCups, make your best REESE’S recipe and share your recipe on on Twitter or Instagram with #SnackTalk #ChallengeEntry. You can submit your recipes here, which is where the winner will be announced and also be recognized by CBS Sports and Walmart.

I want a pizookie now!! Nothing better than chocolate and peanut butter.
Thanks Jules! They’re so easy to make too!
If I wanted to make this with all purpose flour, would I use the same amount and exclude the xanthum gum? Thanks in advance and looks delicious.
Hi Kathy, yes! You can make this with regular all-purpose flour and omit the xanthan gum 🙂
I could definitely eat that entire cookie pie… What is better than peanut butter and chocolate? NOTHING 🙂
great minds think alike ????
Believe it or not many years ago there was a mix you could buy almost identical to this and boy have I missed it Now I can make this!!! Yum
This looks SO good. Two questions – can you make it in something other than a cast iron skillet? And can you use regular flour if you’re not trying to avoid the gluten? I don’t know what the exchange is. Thanks!
Hi Marcia, I haven’t personally tried this recipe with regular flour or in anything other than a cast iron skillet. However, one of my Instagram followers tried it with regular flour and baked it in a pie dish and she said it was excellent. I would just watch it carefully because pie plates are a little smaller, you don’t want it to overflow!
Oh Yummm!!!! Pizookies are one of my favorite desserts ever and putting REESE’S in one would just make it that much MORE amazing!! Would love to try this! #client
I need this and I don’t want to share! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!

Oh Sharon. You gave me diabetes of the eyes…..I don’t mind
haha sorry Arman! How about some chia pudding to fix it?
YUM! My hubby will love this!
Hi! Stopping by from Wine’d Down Wednesday. This looks so yummy! Will it work just the same with regular flour? I’ve pinned it to save for later. Thank you!
I actually haven’t tried it out with regular flour but you could try it, just omit the xanthan gum.
lol about your husband’s rating scale, Sharon. My husband is similar, he’s just so set on his favorites. This pizookie looks wonderful though 🙂
Yup anything without chocolate is doomed to get less than an 8.5 – never more!
My two favorite things in one – cookie pie AND Reeses! YUM! Can’t wait to try it.
This is marvelous and even better baked in the skillet pan. Such a wonderful dessert. xo, Catherine
Thanks Catherine! I love baking in my cast iron 🙂
This looks like absolute perfection! I am actually salivating from the photos!

I did not think this reeses peanut butter cup cookie pie could get any better.. and then you had to go and put ice cream and chocolate sauce on it! Wow!

Wow! You did a fantastic job loading this with all the gooey peanut butter cups! I want the whole thing!
Thanks Laura! I actually meant to add some chocolate chips and peanut butter chips too but you know, cooking with toddlers. Distractions, distractions and you never really end up with what you intended!
