If you are on the search for the perfect dessert, look no further! Seriously. I don’t say this often, but you MUST try this! If you love chocolate and peanut butter, this one is for you!
The bottom layer is crushed Oreo’s, followed by a creamy peanut butter layer, and topped with a chocolate pudding layer! In between each layer, you have chopped Reese’s ending with crushed Oreo on top. Diet friendly this is not…but come on, you only live once, right?! It is worth it, I promise!
My obsession with chocolate peanut butter went into overdrive with this dessert!! It seemed to get better the longer it sat in the fridge (which wasn’t that long since I inhaled it), so I recommend making it the night before you want to devour it!!! YUM!!
If you’re going to a party, having company over, Potluck, or simply wanting to impress your family….try this out and listen for all the rave reviews! It takes a regular dirt cake (vanilla layered) to a whole new level! I was recently at the grocery store and noticed Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreos. I haven’t tried them yet, but I bet those would be a great addition to this recipe in place of the regular ones it calls for!!

My hubby is a chocolate & peanut butter fiend. I wish you could see the look of pure bliss on his face with his first bite! This will be in heavy rotation I’m sure. Thanks so much for a real winner of a recipe.

Yay!! Love hearing this and glad it was so enjoyed!!
Kristin and Adriana says
Oops, we will fix that right now! Thanks Kristal for letting us know, 🙂
Kristal says
The recipe doesn’t say what to do with the remaining 8 oz of whipped topping. I’m assuming it gets added to the pudding/milk/sugar mixture…
Thanks!

This pie or cake was made every football season and volleyball season when my kids were in high school. I haven’t seen it since, thanks for the great memories and now I am bookmarking it, so I can surprise them when they come home from college.
I would love it if you would share it on our BBQ Block Party on Thursday

Hope to see you there
