For the Toppings:

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 or 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes for a firmer crust. Cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Layer
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Stir continuously until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Chill for 15–20 minutes until set.
Step 3: Make the Peanut Butter Cream Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and mix until fully combined and fluffy.
- Fold in the whipped cream gently to keep the mixture light.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled chocolate layer and spread smoothly.
Step 4: Decorate the Pie
- Spread whipped cream evenly over the top of the peanut butter filling.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the whipped cream.
- Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups and additional toppings of your choice.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the delicious layers of chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness.
