- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

- 1⁄2 cup heavy whipping cream

Trim crust to make even with top of tart pan. Place a piece of parchment paper in bottom of pie crust, letting ends extend over edges. Add pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully remove paper and pie weights; bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until bottom of crust is lightly browned. Let crust cool completely in pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine hot caramel topping and cream cheese. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined. Spread caramel mixture into prepared crust.
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and cream. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread peanut butter mixture on top of caramel mixture. Drizzle with melted chocolate and chopped peanuts, if desired.
