Ingredients
  

For the Pretzel Crust:

2 cups pretzel crumbs (about 8 ounces of pretzels crushed)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

For the Chocolate Drizzle:

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Garnish:

Chopped roasted peanuts

Additional whipped topping

Instructions
 

Make the Pretzel Crust:

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

      Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:

        In a large mixing bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth and well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. Finally, gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

          Assemble the Pie:

            Once the pretzel crust is completely cooled, pour the peanut butter filling into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a clean finish.

              Chill the Pie:

                Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

                  Make the Chocolate Drizzle:

                    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

                      Drizzle the Chocolate:

                        Once the pie is set, remove it from the refrigerator. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie in a decorative pattern.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            Finish by sprinkling chopped roasted peanuts on top, and add dollops of whipped topping around the edges if desired. Slice and serve chilled, savoring the wonderful combination of salty and sweet!
