6 tablespoons honey roasted peanuts, divided
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
7 tablespoons butter, melted
3 pints chocolate ice cream, softened

bowl, combine the ice cream and 1 cup peanut butter until blended. Spoon half

pie until almost firm, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with about two-thirds of the
chopped peanut butter cups. Freeze for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, resoften
remaining ice cream mixture. Spread over peanut butter cups (pie will be very
full). Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours or until almost firm. Sprinkle with
chopped peanuts and remaining chopped peanut butter cups. Cover and freeze until
firm, about 1 hour longer. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving.
