Ingredients

  • 27-36 peanut butter sandwich cookies (like Nutter Butter or a similar brand)
  • 1 ¾ cups milk, divided
  • 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (1 container)
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces for topping

Directions

1️⃣ Layer the Cookies:

  • Pour ½ cup of milk into a small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Quickly dip 1/3 of the peanut butter cookies into the milk and arrange them at the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan, covering the entire base.

2️⃣ Prepare the Peanut Butter Pudding Mixture:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups of milk with the pudding mix until it starts to thicken.
  • Once thickened, stir in ½ cup peanut butter and half of the whipped topping. Mix until smooth and creamy.

3️⃣ Layer the Pudding Mixture:

  • Spread half of the peanut butter mixture over the cookie layer in the pan.
  • Dip another 1/3 of the cookies in the milk and place them on top of the pudding layer.

4️⃣ Final Layer:

  • Spread the remaining peanut butter pudding mixture over the second cookie layer.
  • Dip the last 1/3 of the cookies in milk and arrange them on top.

5️⃣ Add the Whipped Topping and Toppings:

  • Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top cookie layer.
  • Sprinkle generously with Reese’s Pieces for a colorful and crunchy finish.

6️⃣ Chill and Serve:

  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and the cookies to soften.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Chilling is key: Let the cake sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften to a cake-like texture.
  • Customize the toppings: Swap Reese’s Pieces for mini peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, or even chopped peanuts for a twist.
  • Storage: Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered with plastic wrap.
