Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12-18
Ingredients:
  • ½ cup cold butter, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1¼ cup powdered sugar, split
  • ⅔ cup lightly salted or roasted peanuts, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup Nestle Peanut Butter Filled Delightfulls
  • 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 carton (8 oz) whipped topping, I use Cool Whip
  • 2 pkgs (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2¾ cup cold milk
  • Optional toppings: Grated Chocolate, Chopped Peanuts and Nestle Peanut Butter Filled Delightfulls
Directions:
  1. In medium bowl mix together the flour and ¼ cup of the powdered sugar. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly; stirring in the peanuts. Press onto the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle the peanut butter filled chocolate chips. Let sit for a few minutes, and then spread the melting chocolate over the crust. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. In a small bowl, beat remaining powdered sugar, cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust. Put in the fridge to set while doing the next step.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the pudding mixes and cold milk. Beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes, scraping the bowl down and making sure all granules have been broken up. Spread over the peanut butter filling. Top with remaining cup of whipped topping and sprinkle with grated chocolate, chopped peanuts and peanut butter filled Delightfull's.
  4. Cover and refrigerate four hours, or overnight if convenient.
