Step 1: For the crust; coarsely chop 1/4 cup of peanuts; set aside to sprinkle on top of the pie; place the remaining 1/4 cup peanuts in a food processor, then cover and process until ground.

Step 2: In a small bowl combine the 1/4 cup ground nuts with cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup of melted butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch plate, then freeze until firm (about 30 minutes or longer).

Step 3: Spread half of the ice cream into frozen crust, then freeze until firm

Step 4: In a bowl combine room temperature peanut butter and corn syrup; spread over ice cream.

Step 5: Top with remaining ice cream, then drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with remaining peanuts and chopped peanut butter cups.

Step 6: Cover and freeze for 4 hours (freeze any remaining pie covered to prevent freezer odors).
