Ingredients
225g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 packet (about 90g) instant vanilla or chocolate pudding mix
360ml (1 ½ cups) cold milk
240g (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) creamy peanut butter
230g (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
170g (about 25 pieces) mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, halved
100g (¾ cup) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Blend the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pudding mix. Use an electric mixer to whip until smooth and well-blended, about 2–3 minutes.
Incorporate the liquids: Gradually add the milk, one ¼ cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a silky texture without lumps.
Add peanut butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter until fully combined, creating a rich and nutty foundation.
Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the mixture using a spatula until completely blended and lightened — this step gives the dip its signature fluffiness.
Mix in candies: Add the halved Reese’s Miniatures and mini chocolate chips, folding them in carefully to evenly distribute the chocolate-peanut butter chunks.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to set properly.
Serve & enjoy: Present your dreamy dip in a bowl surrounded by fresh apple slices, chocolate graham crackers, or your favorite cookies for dipping. Or simply enjoy straight from the spoon!
Notes
For a thicker consistency, chill the dip overnight. This allows the pudding to fully hydrate and firm up the texture.
Avoid using regular-sized Reese’s Cups if you’re aiming for even distribution — stick with miniatures for the best bite experience.
