Ingredients

FOR THE PIE CRUST:

2 cups peanut butter Chex crumbs about 5 cups Chex cereal
3 T white sugar
⅓ cup butter melted

FOR THE ICE CREAM FILLING:

½ gallon chocolate peanut butter ice cream or more - see notes
peanut butter cups cut into halves, fourths, or chunks

Instructions

Blend peanut butter Chex in your blender on high speed until you have fine crumbs. It should resemble graham cracker crumbs (see notes if you don't have a blender)
Stir together Chex crumbs and sugar, then add melted butter and stir until combined.
Press into a 8" or 9" pie plate. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to compact the mixture into a crust.Freeze the crust for 15 minutes to allow it to set before you add the ice cream.
Scoop ice cream into the prepared crust. This is easier if your ice cream is softened a little. I like to just scoop it all in, but you can also smooth it out if you want.
Press peanut butter cups all over the ice cream pie.
Freeze until solid.
Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving, then use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to slice the pie.

Notes

While this pie is best served within a week or two, you can store it in the freezer for up to a month. If foil or plastic wrap is touching the ice cream it might stick to the pie over time, so just tent some foil over the top.
If you can't find chocolate peanut butter ice cream, you can use chocolate ice cream and drizzle melted peanut butter over the top before serving.
If you don't have a blender, you can add the Chex to a heavy duty gallon size Ziploc bag. Press all air out of the bag, seal it, and use a rolling pin to crush the cereal into fine crumbs.
