Combine all the crust ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring until moistened. Press the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
To make the filling:
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until combined.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whip cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the filling into the baked crust. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until set, before serving. Keep pie refrigerated.
Notes
*If you want to skip the brief oven time, then mix the crust as directed and refrigerate while you make the filling.
Store tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
