instant chocolate pudding mix (3.4 oz)
2
cups
cold milk
1
cup
Cool Whip, thawed
1/2
cup
creamy peanut butter
1/4
cup

1/4
cup
crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
plus extra for topping, if desired
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for two minutes until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Add the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar to the pudding. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
Fold in the Cool Whip gently, using a spatula, until the frosting is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix—you want to keep it airy!
Stir in the crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, reserving a little for topping.
Spread or pipe the frosting onto cupcakes, cakes, brownies, or use as a dip.
Sprinkle with extra Reese’s for a special finishing touch. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir gently before serving again.
