Ingredients

This dessert is all about contrast—textures, temperatures, and the rich balance of peanut butter and chocolate. A crushed Oreo crust gives you that deep cocoa base and a perfect no-bake crunch. The peanut butter layer is light, fluffy, and creamy thanks to a mix of cream cheese, whipped topping, and peanut butter—it’s rich but not too heavy. The chocolate pudding layer adds cool, silky depth and brings that classic layered “dessert casserole” feel. And the topping? That’s where the magic happens. Skippy Peanut Butter Bars add bites of real peanut butter, a little crunch, and that nostalgic candy bar energy, while peanut butter chips and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts make it look as decadent as it tastes. This is comfort food with a capital C, dressed up just enough for a party.

Instructions

Use this section for process shots, alternating between the step and image showing the step. Users don't like seeing process shots cluttering up the recipe card, so include your process shots here.

In a large bowl, combine crushed Oreos and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan to form a firm crust. Set aside.

Place a layer of Skippy PB Minis directly on top of the Oreo crust. Gently press them down so they settle slightly into it.

In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread half of the peanut butter mixture over the Skippy PB Bars.

Place a layer of Skippy PB Minis directly on top of the peanut butter filling. Gently press them down so they settle slightly into the fluff.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Let it sit for a minute to fully set, then spread evenly over the peanut butter layer.

Spread a final layer of whipped topping over the pudding. Finish with the remaining Skippy Peanut Butter Bars and peanut butter chips.

Hint: Chill and Serve.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the layers set and flavors meld. Slice and serve chilled.

Equipment

9 x 13" baking dish
Mixing bowls (at least 2)
Hand mixer or stand mixer
Whisk
Rubber spatula
Measuring cups and spoons
Offset spatula or spoon (for spreading layers)
Plastic wrap or foil (for covering while chilling)
Sharp knife (for chopping Skippy bars and slicing to serve)

Storage

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. For the cleanest slices, let it chill overnight before serving.

If you want to freeze leftovers, place individual slices in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month—just note that the texture of the whipped topping may change slightly upon thawing. Let slices sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before serving from frozen.
