  7. Pour the peanut butter filling into the prepared tart pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
  8. Spread the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the chocolate is set.
  10. Once cooled, gently remove the pie from the tart pan, peel off the parchment, and serve.
