Ingredients:

1 premade pie crust
2 cups milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup crushed peanuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Mini peanut butter cups and caramel drizzle for garnish

Directions:
Chocolate Layer Creation: Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of shortening in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Spread evenly into the bottom of the pie crust and refrigerate until set.
Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, crushed peanuts, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended. Gently fold in the whipped cream to keep the mixture light.
Layering: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the chilled chocolate layer in the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Final Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the remaining chocolate chips and shortening, then drizzle artistically over the peanut butter layer. Garnish with mini peanut butter cups and caramel drizzle.
Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set properly.
