Make the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped cream to add lightness and fluffiness to the filling mixture.
Assemble the Pies
  1. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the cooled crusts until they are filled to the top.
  2. Refrigerate the mini pies for at least 30 minutes to set.
Prepare the Topping
  1. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter together over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled pies.
  3. Finish by sprinkling crushed peanuts on top for an added crunch.
Serve and Enjoy
