Ingredients
- 1 package peanut butter sandwich cookies
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts (such as peanuts or almonds)
- Additional chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Make the crust: Crush the peanut butter sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into an 8x8-inch baking dish and chill in the fridge.
- Make the peanut butter filling: Beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold it into the peanut butter mixture. Spread evenly over the crust and chill again.
- Add the chocolate topping: Melt chocolate chips with 1/4 cup heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Slice into squares and drizzle with extra melted chocolate if desired.
