- 1 package (14.3 oz) of chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

If you’re a little short on whipped topping, no worries—my mom would have just whipped up some magic with a splash of cream and sugar. It’s all about making it yours.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a dessert that’ll not only impress but also bring a little extra joy to your home.
- Begin by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine. If you’re feeling nostalgic, use a rolling pin like my kids do—it’s messy but fun.
- Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until well combined, then press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a crust.
- In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping until well blended.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cookie crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and chocolate pudding mix until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour over the peanut butter layer.
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top, if desired. Because who doesn’t love a little extra chocolate?
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set, before slicing and serving.
