Second Step:
Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Cover and refrigerate while you make the peanut butter filling.
Third Step:
For the filling combine the cream cheese, smooth peanut butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream and spoon the filling into the refrigerated pie crust. Cover again and return to the refrigerator.
Fourth Step:
Now make the chocolate whipped cream; melt the roughly chopped dark chocolate and whipping cream on a double boiler over medium low heat. Whisk until the chocolate has melted completely. Cover and refrigerate the whipped topping for at least 2 hours. Once cooled, beat the mixture with a mixer until thick and spreadable. Don’t overmix as it will separate the whipped cream.
