Start by preparing the chocolate ganache. In a saucepan, melt the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, crunchy peanut butter, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
Pour half of the chocolate ganache into a pie crust and let it set.
Add the chunky peanut butter filling on top of the ganache layer, spreading it evenly.
Pour the remaining ganache over the filling and smooth it out.
Refrigerate the pie for several hours or until firm.
Serve cold and enjoy!
