| 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. | 2. Make crust first. | 3. In a small bowl, combine crumbs and melted butter and then pat into a 9" pie plate. | 4. Bake until firm and solid; 8 minutes. | 5. Let cool. | 6. Now make filling. | 7. In medium-sized bowl, whip cream. | 8. Place in fridge until you need it. | 9. Now, in a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. | 10. Next, beat in peanut butter, then butter and vanilla. | 11. Beat in icing sugar until nice and fluffy. | 12. Retrieve whipping cream from fridge. | 13. Fold about one-quarter of the cream into mixture to lighten it up, then fold in remainder of cream. | 14. Use a light hand-- but you don't want any streaks of cream to show either. | 15. Fill baked crust with peanut butter mixture. | 16. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it firms up, about 3 hours. | 17. To make chocolate ganache topping, finely chop chocolate bar (you can substitute 6 squares of semisweet bakers chocolate) and place in a small bowl. | 18. In a small pot, heat cream just until bubbles form. | 19. Pour over chocolate and stir until chocolate melts. | 20. Let cool, then spread over pie. | 21. Take the 12 miniature-peanut-butter-cup halves and arrange them evenly around the edge of the pie. | 22. I tilt them so the inside shows. | 23. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving; I always make this a day ahead. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
