Make the super peanut buttery crumble first by mixing together the peanut butter, ¼ cup butter, ½ cup flour, peanuts and ¼ cup packed brown sugar. Place it in the freezer to stiffen up, while you prepare your other ingredients.
Melt the chocolate and remaining butter in the microwave by heating up in 30-second intervals for a minute to a minute and a half. Add the remaining brown sugar, granulated sugar, cocoa and salt, and mix in the Baileys. Fold in the eggs one at a time, and then, slowly add the remaining flour into the mixture and stir until smooth.
Lay the pie crust into your pan and crimp the edges with your fingertips. Pour in the chocolate mixture and then top off with your stiffened peanut butter crumble. Place in the oven for 50 minutes and then cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes.
Once your pie is cooled, top with your caramel syrup and sea salt flakes.
