For me, the ideal dessert combines the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter. So when I came up with this rich treat, it quickly became my all-time favorite. It's a cinch to whip together because it doesn't require any baking. -Debbie Price, LaRue, Ohio

wonderful - i make a "make-over" version of this. would love to know the new nutrition facts. it's still bad for you, but not as bad. - 1 tbsp butter, 1/2 to 3/4 cup confect. sugar mixed with the cr. cheese and pb. No sugar added to pudding mix, made with skim milk. use light whipped topping. still decadent!

This is one of the best desserts I have ever had! Everyone always requests me to make this for all of our family/friend's get-togethers! I would suggest buying the bag of mini reese's peanut butter cups to save time on unwrapping and chopping the larger peanut butter cups.

So delicious! This dessert is easy to make and it is such a nice alternative to the typical dessert of cookies or cake. It is so thick and rich that you don't need a lot of it to feel satisfied; so it feeds a lot of people! The best part is that it's easy to make healthier by using reduced-fat oreos, cream cheese, peanut butter, whipped topping, and milk. Cannot wait to make this dessert again!!
