Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch pie pan.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well-blended and slightly fluffy.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar-egg mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly fudgy. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
While the brownie base cools, prepare the peanut butter topping. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese together using an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base. For added creaminess, dollop whipped cream on top, if desired.
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings for garnish, if preferred, and chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Slice and serve chilled for best results. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
