How to Make Peanut Butter Layered Delight
- Grease a 9×13 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray or butter, ensuring easy removal later. Set it aside.
- Arrange a single layer of peanut butter sandwich cookies evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of whipped topping until smooth.
- Gently spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie base, then freeze for about 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the whole milk until it begins to thicken.
- Carefully fold the creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled cream cheese layer, then return it to the freezer for another 15 minutes.
- Gently layer the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping on top of the peanut butter layer.
- Sprinkle with peanut butter chips, chopped reserved cookies, and drizzle with melted peanut butter.
- Refrigerate the dessert for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes prior to serving.

Notes
For the best texture, allow each layer to chill fully before adding the next. Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed nuts.
