Ingredients
Scale
- Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping
- Chocolate Layer:
- 1 cup chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- Topping:

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, top with additional whipped topping and chocolate shavings for garnish.
