3/4 cup powdered sugar

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
TO MAKE THE CRUST:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crust with 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter. Combine the mixture thoroughly and press into a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes.
TO MAKE THE FILLING:
In an electric mixer with a whip attachment, whip the cream cheee and sugar until smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup peanut butter, milk and nuts and whip for 1 minute. Turn the peanut butter mixture into a mixing bowl; set aside.
Whip 2 cups of the heavy cream and fold into the peanut butter mixture. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and refrigerate for 2 hours or until the pie is set.

Remove the pie from the springform pan and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate topping over the pie, covering the top and sides completely. Refrigerate the pie for 2 hours or until the chocolate coating is set.
