Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup crushed pretzel, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter until evenly combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow crust to cool completely.
Pour 1 cup hot fudge sauce into the cooled crust. Spread evenly to cover the bottom. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, 1 cup milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup peanut butter baking chips, and 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble. Continue cooking and stirring for 2 minutes, until thickened.
In a small bowl, quickly whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into 3 egg yolks to temper them. Immediately stir the warmed yolks back into the saucepan.
Cook for an additional 90 seconds, stirring constantly.

I used to drive a truck in Illinois, and on Wednesdays I did an out of town run delivering frozen foods. On the long drive home at the end of the day there was a coffee shop/cafe at a crossroads in the country where I would stop and sometimes have a slice of homemade pie. I looked up at the chalkboard and saw Peanut Butter pie and I laughed and said "There's no such thing as peanut butter pie!" They pointed to a framed award from Farmer's Wife Magazine for Peanut Butter pie and told me I better order some before its all gone. I did and they beamed as I moaned and groaned wolfing it down. I've always been fond of the whole experience that day and love learning about new foods. This looks amazing and I love pretzel crust. Nice job!
