Peanut Butter Pudding
This is a layered dessert that is simply delicious! This will make two 9 inch pies or a 9x13 baking pan. Highly recommended and Buster approved.

- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix, 4 serving size
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix, 4 serving size
- mini Reese cups, quartered, as desired
Instructions

- Fold in 1 tub of the whipped topping.
- Spoon evenly over the cookies in the pie dishes.

Notes
Low cost per serving in the US, use store brand items as well for savings.
Variants: 1. Use ginger snap cookies in place of vanilla wafer cookies. 2. Use a 9x13 baking pan with vanilla wafers placed on the bottom for the crust. 3. Use chocolate, dark chocolate, or peanut butter chips or any combination, in place of the Reeses cups. 4. Mix in 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling before adding to the pie dishes.

I made this on 17 Nov 2019 and modified the recipe to reflect my changes to make this better. Now as written, this is excellent pudding. I did fold in 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese filling, that is highly recommended. The family absolutely loved this dessert and even stated, this is the best I have made so far. Highly recommended and Buster approved 🙂
