Peanut Butter and Chocolate Layered Dessert

October 29, 2017 by Amber 9 Comments

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Layered Dessert

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Layered Dessert with a decadent brownie bottom, creamy no-bake peanut butter layer, fudge and whipped topping.

Sometimes you come across a dessert that is just pure joy in every bite. This is one of those desserts. Joy in every single crumb.

What makes this Peanut Butter and Chocolate Layered Dessert insanely delicious?

It all starts with the fudgy brownie bottom. The brownie is made from dark cocoa and adds a richness and beautiful texture. Then, comes the peanut butter layer which is probably my favorite part. I have a serious soft spot for peanut butter desserts! Cream cheese, peanut butter and whipped topping are mixed together to form a creamy center. Add a layer of chocolate fudge and a layer of layer of whipped topping to complete.

You can use any brownie recipe you like but I recommend the one in the recipe card because it is really rich. Use non-stick pray a 9 x 11 pan/casserole dish and mix the brownie batter. Bake the brownie and let cool before adding the next layers.

Time for the peanut butter layer! Mix and spread over the brownie, followed by the fudge, then whipped topping. Place the dessert in refrigerator until chilled and then garnish as you wish. Drizzle peanut butter and chocolate fudge over top, shred some chocolate chunks or even chop up some peanut butter cups.

    This was amazing. Instead of the 1 cup granulated sugar being used in the filling, I used powder sugar and it was amazing. I also made the recipe by doing 1 and half of everything to fill a 9×13 pan and it worked perfectly.
