Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Crust:

  • 2 cups finely ground Oreo Baking Crumbs, Oreo Thins (no need to remove the cream), Dewey's Brownie Crisp, or Nabisco Chocolate Wafers
  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate , chopped such as Ghirardelli
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , cut into 4 pieces

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (I use Jif)
  • 8 oz full fat cream cheese , at room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate , chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup unsalted or salted roasted peanuts , chopped

Instructions
 

For the Chocolate Cookie Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt butter in a bowl, then stir in chocolate chips until melted. Add crushed cookies and stir until evenly combined.
  • Press evenly over the bottom and up the rim of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugars, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture in thirds. Pour filling into cooled crust and refrigerate for 1 hour.

For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:

  •  Microwave chocolate and heavy cream in 20-second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth, then cool slightly. Spread over chilled filling and sprinkle with peanuts (optional). Refrigerate for three more hours.
  • Run a knife around the crust and remove the ring. Cut into wedges and serve chilled.

Notes

How to Make Ahead
You can prepare the chocolate peanut butter tart a day ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. For the filling to be very creamy, remove the tart from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
