Ingredients
Scale
- unbaked pie crust
- 10 ounces peanut butter chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cups miniature vegan marshmallows

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out your unbaked pie crust and transfer it into a pie plate. Crimp the edges and prick the bottom with a fork.

- Stir in vegan marshmallows until fully melted and combined.
- Pour the filling into the baked crust and sprinkle dry roasted peanuts on top.
- For the caramel topping, melt sugar in a small saucepan until amber-colored; then add cubed butter followed by heavy cream, stirring until combined.
- Add vanilla extract and salt to the cooled caramel sauce before drizzling it over the peanuts on top of the pie.
- Refrigerate for at least four hours before slicing.
