Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • 9x13-inch pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Stand Mixer (optional)

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 60 Nilla Wafers
  • ⅔ cup salted peanuts
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 16 ounces whipped topping like Cool Whip, divided
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9-ounce each

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse the Nilla wafers and peanuts until they become coarse crumbs. Mix these crumbs with the melted butter until they're nicely moistened. Press this mixture firmly into a 9x13-inch pan, making a nice even crust. Bake for just 8-10 minutes until golden, then set it aside to cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl (or using a stand mixer), beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and creamy peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and light. Gently fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping until it's fully combined. Spread this creamy peanut butter layer evenly over your cooled crust.
  • In another bowl, whisk the cold milk with both packages of instant chocolate pudding mix for about 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken up. Carefully fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until no streaks remain. Spread this luscious chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer in your pan.
  • Finally, spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate layer. Cover your dessert and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or even overnight, to let all the delicious layers set perfectly. Slice and enjoy this delightful, easy-to-make treat!
