Reserve 2 tablespoons hot fudge topping and place remainder in microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Spread hot fudge over pie to cover peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until serving time. Just before serving, spread remaining whipped topping over hot fudge layer, being careful not to mix the two layers.
