Ingredients:
- 1 package (16 oz) Nutter Butter cookies
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 package (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups (approx. 8 oz total) whipped topping, divided
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 3/4 cups (650ml) whole milk, cold
- 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces or crushed peanuts
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
Instructions:
- Place the Nutter Butter cookies in a food processor and pulse until they reach the consistency of coarse sand.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sea salt. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a stable crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in 1.5 cups of whipped topping until no streaks remain.
- Spread the peanut butter mousse evenly over the cookie crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the surface.
- In another bowl, whisk together the two packages of instant chocolate pudding mix and the cold whole milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Spread the chocolate layer over the peanut butter mousse.
- Spread the remaining 1.5 cups of whipped topping over the chocolate layer. Garnish with Reese's Pieces and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing into 15 generous pieces.
