Peanut butter cup pie pops are a fun way to eat dessert on a stick or leave the stick out and instead of pie pops you have will have hand pies!

Disclosure: Pillsbury provided me with free pie crust to facilitate this pie pop recipe.

Peanut Butter Cup Pie Pops
I’ve seen pie pops floating around online for some time now and have always wanted to try making them because eating a dessert on a stick is so much fun! Most of the pie pops I’ve seen have the traditional pie fillings like fruit and nuts.

I wanted to do something different. My favorite pies to order at restaurants are French Silk and Peanut Butter Cup but those are both cold fillings that are added to a baked pie crust.

Then, it dawned on me…peanut butter cup pie could be made using Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and I wouldn’t even have to make a filling; it would be ready to go from the package!

How To Make Peanut Butter Cup Pie Pops

Pillsbury Crust Pie Pops

Step One:

Start with ready made Pillsbury pie crust and cut out circles on a floured surface.

I used a 2 7/8″ circle biscuit cutter and it was the perfect size for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Squish the extra dough together, roll it out again and continue cutting out circles. I was able to get 14 circles out of the crust.

Step Two:

Push a lollipop stick all the way into a peanut butter cup without going out the opposite side. By inserting so far into the peanut butter cup, it will make the pie pops more sturdy.

The peanut butter cup goes face down on one of the circles of crust and it is topped with another circle.

Seal Pie Pop Crust

Step Three:

Press the edges of dough together with your fingers.

Then, use a lollipop stick to seal the two crust circles together.

Brush Egg White

Step Four:

Put the pie pops on a baking sheet and brush with a beaten egg white.

Step Five:

One pie crust made seven peanut butter cup pie pops.

Pie Pop Flavors

Step Six:

Melt the peanut butter chips in the microwave and scrape into a plastic sandwich bag.

Snip the corner of the baggie and drizzle over the pie pop.

Drizzle Crosshatch Chocolate

Step Seven:

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave and scrape into a plastic sandwich bag.

Snip the corner of the baggie and drizzle over the pie pop in a crosshatch pattern.

    To cut down on the sweetness and chocolate, could peanut butter be used at the center in a smaller amount…maybe 1t or so. These are adorable but look very, very sweet.

    Could I make these without the lollipop stick, so they are like little mini pies? I’m just worried that without the stick, it might not be able to support itself

      Hi Kerrie-
      I think that pie tastes the best when it is fresh, so I would suggest making them close to the party. Otherwise, it might work to make them and freeze them. Happy Baking!

      That is a great idea, Sarah! I’m not sure what you would need to adjust since I haven’t made them that way. I think you would want to turn the heat down to 350 and bake them for more like 10 to 12 minutes but just watch them to see when they look done. I would love to hear how they turn out! Happy Baking! ~Tonia

    These look amazing! When you brush with the egg white, do you brush both sides or just the top? Thanks! I’m going to try to make them this weekend.

      Hi Naomi,
      Yes, you could most definitely use homemade pie crust! I just like taking the short cuts but homemade would be delicious!
      Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh My Tonia all I can say is that we MUST have been seperated at birth! I am over the moon for Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate. I am going to have to try these babies out real soon. Have you ever tried Reese’s Fast Breaks? I would love to use them in a recipe of some kind. Maybe I will try using them instead of the PB cups . They would just be a little smaller.
    Thanks again. 🙂

    These look so good and easy. They can be adapted to any holiday by changing the color of the drizzle. Now I can be stress free for some
    of the lesser holidays, Thank you soooooooooooo much. Trish Butler
