Peanut Butter Cup Lasagna Notes
- When leaving your cream cheese on the counter to soften, only let it sit out for two hours. You want to leave it out long enough to get soft without going bad on you.
- You can warm your peanut butter in two different ways. I like to add a bit of it to the saucepan and allow it to melt down and reach a thinner consistency. However, you can also add it to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave instead of using the saucepan.
- If you want a saltier crust, use salted butter. However, if you want to ditch the salt, you can use unsalted butter for your homemade crust and the dessert will still come out tasting just as good.
Aside from being delicious, no bake and super easy to make, reeses chocolate peanut butter lasagna also makes a great option for potlucks, picnics, BBQs or any gathering where you need to bring a dessert. It’s easy to transport, and once you arrive at your destination, you can simply cut it into squares and serve.

Ingredients
Crust
- 25 regular Oreos
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- Peanut Butter Layer
- 8 ounces of cream cheese softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
- 8 ounces of whipped topping thawed
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 large 5.9-ounce box of instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk cold
Topping
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 1/2 cup warmed Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate fudge topping or syrup
- 30 mini peanut butter cups cut in half
Instructions
- First, start by making the crust. Place the whole Oreos in a food processor and blend at high speed until they are fine crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the melted butter while the food processor runs at low speed, then give the mixture a quick stir to make sure it is mixed well.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish or pan, then place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- While the crust is freezing, make the layers. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar, and use an electric mixer to blend them until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter and continue mixing until, once again, smooth.
- Spoon in the whipped topping and mix at low speed until completely mixed. Set aside.
- In a separate large or medium bowl, add the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until the pudding starts to thicken, then let it sit for another 2-3 minutes or until the pudding is very thick.
- Pour the peanut butter cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust, and smooth it out evenly. Then spread the chocolate pudding over the peanut butter layer, and finally, spread the remaining whipped topping over the top.
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best.
- Top with warmed peanut butter, hot fudge topping or chocolate syrup, and mini peanut butter cups.
- Serve chilled.
