CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER HEAVEN (EASY NO-BAKE DESSERT)

This easy no bake dessert features layers of crispy cornflakes and peanut butter, sweetened cream cheese, and dark chocolate pudding, topped with fluffy whipped cream. It really is a slice of heaven.

Ingredients

• 3 small packages instant chocolate pudding (dark or milk chocolate)
• 4 c milk
• 5 1/2 c cornflakes, slightly crushed
• 1 1/2 c peanut butter
• 2 8 oz pkgs cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 c powdered sugar
• 3 c cool whip
• mini chocolate chips (optional, for serving)

Instructions

• Combine the milk and pudding mix with an electric mixer. Once  smooth, put in the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hr or overnight.
• For the bottom layer, mix the cornflakes and peanut butter until combined (the best way to do this is with your hands; it's messy, but effective). Spread the cornflake/pb mixture into the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish until evenly coated. Place into the freezer for 30 minutes to allow it to harden.
• While the pb mixture is setting, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 cup cool whip. Mix on medium speed until smooth.
• Remove the pan from the freezer and spread the cream cheese mixture over the bottom layer. Return to the freezer for 30 more minutes to set.
• After the cream cheese layer has firmed a little, spread on the chocolate pudding. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Just before serving, spread on the additional 2 cups cool whip and top with mini chocolate chips.
