Once the pie is set and ready to serve, consider creating a drizzle by melting a small amount of chocolate (dark, milk, or white) and mixing it with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle this mixture artistically over the whipped cream and toppings. This decorative touch not only adds a burst of flavor but also elevates the visual appeal of your chocolate chip peanut butter pie
