- 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions
Here's how to make this delicious Peanut Butter Pie with Chocolate Ganache and Oreo Crust:
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, peanut butter, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour the peanut butter filling into the cooled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled peanut butter filling, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes or until the ganache is set.
