Chocolate Peanut Butter Treat

This dessert was not as well received as I might have liked. We had some company for dinner and it sounded really good so I made it and was so excited to serve it! Yum! Peanut butter and chocolate - how can you go wrong? Well, it's not so good if your company has peanut allergies. Oops! So we ate it after the company left and it was amazing! Just don't make it for people that are allergic!

 

 Chocolate Peanut Butter Treat

crust:

25 Oreos, divided

2 Tbsp. butter, softened

Crush 18-20 cookies and mix together with the butter. Press into an 8x8 square pan and set aside.

Cream cheese layer:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/2 c. peanut butter

1 1/2 c. powdered sugar, divided

16 oz. Cool Whip, thawed and divided

1 bag mini peanut butter cups, chopped coarsely

Beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and 1 c. powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in half the Cool Whip, then spread over the crust. Sprinkle to peanut butter cups over the cream cheese layer.

1 c. milk

1 small box instant chocolate fudge pudding

Beat milk and pudding together with the remaining 1/2 c. powdered sugar. Fold in the remaining half of the Cool Whip. Spread over the cream cheese layer.

Roughly chop the remaining cookies and sprinkle them over the pudding layer. Refrigerate about 3 hours - or just eat it like we do.
