PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place pretzels in the food processor with the knife attachment and process to a fine powder (no pieces). You should have 1½ cups of pretzel “flour.” Pour into a large bowl. Add peanut butter and mix together thoroughly to form a dough-like mass. Press onto bottom and sides of a 10-inch (25 cm) pie pan. (If you have too much, save for topping.) Bake for 8— 10 minutes or until it sets and turns golden. Set aside to cool.
To prepare the filling, have the separated eggs ready to use. Place chocolate and honey in a double boiler and stir occasionally until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and add the yolks, whisking vigorously so they don’t curdle. Return to heat and continue whisking for about 30 seconds or until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until incorporated. Cool slightly.
Beat egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gently and gradually fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon the mixture into prepared crust and spread to the edges. Place in freezer until set and firm.
Beat whip topping and pudding mix until stiff. Pipe stars all over the top of the pie, or just spread evenly over the frozen chocolate layer. Sprinkle with toppings of your choice, the more the merrier.
