Ingredients
2 1/2 cups peanut butter cookie crumbs
8 tablespoons melted butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
12 ounces whipped topping, divided
2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1/3 cup chocolate syrup
1/3 cup caramel sauce
1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Crush the peanut butter cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter until evenly coated.
2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish and chill briefly to set the crust.
3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar.
4. Fold in half of the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until thickened.
7. Spread the pudding layer evenly over the peanut butter layer.
8. Top with the remaining whipped topping and smooth the surface.
9. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce.
10. Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips over the top.
11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
12. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
Do not rush the chilling time, because slicing too early can cause the layers to slide and lose their clean shape.
