Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter Oreos (1 package, coarsely crushed): Forms the crunchy, flavorful base.
  • Butter (½ cup or 1 stick, melted): Binds the Oreo crumbs for the crust.
  • Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix (1 3.4 oz box): Creates a rich, chocolatey layer.
  • Milk (1¾ cups): Combines with pudding mix for a creamy consistency.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter (¼ cup): Adds a nutty depth to the pudding layer.
  • Cool Whip (1 16 oz tub, thawed): Offers a light, fluffy texture to the dessert.
  • Miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (1 cup, chopped in half): Introduces a crunchy, peanut buttery surprise.
  • Chocolate Syrup: For drizzling, enhancing the chocolate flavor.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8×8″ or 9×9″ square baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Form the Base: Mix the crushed Peanut Butter Oreos with melted butter until moistened. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Mix the Pudding Layer: In a cleaned bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk, and peanut butter until thickened. Fold in half of the Cool Whip until smooth.
  4. Assemble: Spread the pudding mixture over the Oreo base. Top with the remaining Cool Whip and sprinkle with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
  6. Serve: Cut into squares and drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, consider using low-fat milk and a light Cool Whip alternative.
  • If you’re a fan of extra peanut butter, add an additional tablespoon of peanut butter to the pudding mixture for a more intense flavor.
  • This dessert can be customized with different layers or toppings, such as adding a layer of crushed peanuts for extra crunch.
  • The Reese’s Peanut Butter Lush can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh.
  • For longer storage, you can freeze the lush for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed cold and does not require reheating. If frozen, simply allow it to thaw in the refrigerator.
