   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
   • Press this mixture evenly into a 9-inch glass pie plate to form the crust.
   • Bake the crust for 5 minutes, then turn off the oven and let it sit for an additional 4 minutes.
   • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot crust and let them melt for about 1 minute.
   • Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread the melted chocolate chips along the bottom and up the sides of the pastry crust.
   • Allow the crust to cool while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together until light and fluffy.
   • Mix in the milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks.
   • Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to lighten it.
   • Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.

3. Assemble the Pie:

   • Pour the creamy peanut butter filling into the prepared chocolate-lined crust.
   • Sprinkle the top of the pie with salted peanuts for a crunchy texture and extra nutty flavor.
   • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set completely.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • When ready to serve, cut slices of the chilled Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie.
   • For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle each slice with chocolate fudge sauce.
   • Watch as the creamy filling, crunchy crust, and rich chocolate come together in a symphony of flavors!

5. Storage Tips:

   • Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 3 days.
   • For longer storage, you can freeze the pie. Just be sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
