Spread mixture into the prepared crust and place back into the fridge till needed.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
Heat the heavy cream in the microwave for about 1 minute until hot.
Pour hot cream over the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for about 2-3 minutes. Whisk together till smooth and creamy.
Allow mixture to set for about 5 minutes.
Pour chocolate ganache over the peanut butter layer.
Arrange chopped peanut butter cups all around the edges of the pie, or the entire top, however you want.
Cover the pie carefully with foil and return to the fridge or freezer for at least 2 hours.
Slice when ready and serve. (If removing pie from the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make slicing easier)
Cover any leftovers and store in fridge or freezer.
