FILLING

TOPPING

For the crust, crush the wafers and pat the crumbs into a greased 9" pie pan, pressing evenly ont the bottom and sides.

For the filling, whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Slowly mix in the sugar, peanut butter, and melted butted. Whip the cream and vanilla until firm. Blend ⅓ cup of the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture. Fold this mixture into the remaining whipped cream until totally blended. Fill the pie shell, smooth the top, and chill in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

For the topping, combine all but the optional ingredients and melt them in the top of a double boiler until the chocolate melts. Cool slightly. Spread the mixture on the cooled peanut butter pie, starting from the center and working out. Chill or freeze until ready to serve.

If desired, decorate the top with crushed peanuts and white and dark chocolate shavings before serving.
