Another recipe from the Fiddlehead restaurant in Juneau! Incredibly rich, absolutely wonderful; this pie sends peanut butter fans into ecstasy. Prep time includes chilling time. This makes enough for two 9-inch pies or one large 10 inch pie...really depends on the depth of your pie plate.

Steps:
- Crust:.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and place rack in center of oven.
- Combine cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter in a deep 10-inch pie pan (or two shallow 9-inch pie pans).
- Press evenly into pan and bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Chill Crust.
- Ganache:.
- Bring 3/4 cup heavy cream to boil in small pan over medium-high heat, or microwave for 2-3 minutes, and pour over chocolate chips.
- Whisk together until smooth.
- Pour 1/2 of the chocolate mixture into cooked and cooled pie shell(s) and spread evenly over bottom. (Save the rest for the garnish).
- Refrigerate.
- Filling:.
- In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer set on high, whip cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add milk, peanut butter, and vanilla.
- Beat until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whip chilled cream until stiff and fold into peanut butter mixture.
- Spoon gently into chilled crust; using a spatula to smooth surface of pie.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, whipped cream or drizzle ganache over top.
- Serve at once.
- (Rumored to be even better the second day--like there is ever any left over!).
