1 Tbsp. margarine

2 to 3 tsp. water

¼ cup powdered sugar

Filling:   1 cup margarine

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 (12 oz.) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed

Topping:   ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 Tbsp.  margarine

2 to 3 tsp. milk

1 ½ tsp. corn syrup

Garnish:   1 cup thawed frozen whipped topping

2 Tbsp. chopped peanuts

Heat oven to 450 F.  Prepare pie crust according to package directions for unfilled one-crust pie using 9 inch pie pan.  (Refrigerate remaining crust for a later use.)  Bake at 450 F. for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool completely.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp. margarine with 2 tsp. water, stirring constantly until smooth.  Blend in powdered sugar until smooth.  Add additional water if necessary for desired spreading consistency.  Spread mixture over bottom and up sides of cooled crust.  Refrigerate.

In medium saucepan, combine 1 cup margarine and brown sugar.  Cook over medium heat until margarine is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring frequently.  Refrigerate 10 minutes.  In large bowl, beat peanut butter and brown sugar mixture at low speed until blended.  Beat 1 minute at medium-high speed.  Add 12 oz. whipped topping; beat 1 additional minute at low speed or until mixture is smooth and creamy.  Pour over chocolate layer.  Refrigerate.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp. margarine with 2 tsp. milk and corn syrup, stirring constantly until smooth.  Add additional milk if necessary for desired spreading consistency.  Spoon and gently spread topping mixture evenly over filling.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours to set topping.  For ease in serving, use sharp knife to score chocolate topping into serving pieces before topping is completely set.  To serve, use sharp knife dipped in warm water to cut through scored lines.  Garnish with whipped topping and peanuts.  Store in refrigerator.  10 to 12 servings
