Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

1 family-size package Nutter Butter cookies

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Layer

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
3 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided

Chocolate Layer

1 box (5.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups cold milk

Topping

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Crushed Nutter Butter cookies (from remaining cookies in package)

Instructions

Arrange a single layer of Nutter Butter cookies in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, covering the surface as evenly as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping until fully combined and creamy.
Spread the peanut butter cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped topping and spread smoothly to the edges.
Sprinkle crushed Nutter Butter cookies evenly over the whipped topping layer.
Microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds, or until smooth and pourable. Allow it to cool slightly.
Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the top of the dessert.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

For the best texture, chill overnight before serving.
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
Use an offset spatula to create smooth, professional-looking layers.

Do not overheat the peanut butter; warm it just enough to drizzle easily.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
For extra indulgence, garnish with mini peanut butter cups, chocolate shavings, or additional peanut butter drizzle before serving.
This dessert is ideal for parties, potlucks, holiday gatherings, and make-ahead entertaining.
