Peanut Butter Chocolate No Bake Dessert

I'm not even sure what do call this dessert but it is delicious!  I also love that it was no bake- perfect for a hot summer day and you're looking for something sweet to eat.  Unfortunately someone dug into it before I did, attempted to make it look like they didn't, and put it back in the fridge.  But, I guess a good thing about this picture is that you can see the layers of the dessert.

Ingredients

• 1 package of Oreos, or any other kind of cream-filled sandwich cookies
• 2 tbs of softened butter
• 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1-1/2 cups confectioners sugar
• 16 oz of frozen whipped topping
• 15-20 mini peanut butter cups
• 1 cup milk
• 1 small package of instant chocolate pudding mix 

Procedure

Crush about 20 cookies and toss together with the softened butter.  Press into a 9x9 dish (mine was slightly larger) to form a sort of 'crust'.  In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and 1 cup of the confectioners sugar until smooth.  Fold in half of the whipped topping and spread over the crust.  Chop up the mini peanut butter cups and sprinkle over top of the peanut butter and cream cheese layer.

In another large bowl, beat milk, pudding mix, and the rest of the confectioners sugar on low for 2 minutes.  Let stand for 2 minutes and fold in the remaining whipped topping.  Spread over the mini peanut butter cups.  Crush the rest of the cookies and sprinkle on top- if you have any left over peanut butter cups sprinkle those as well.  Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before you dig in!  Also, as if this dessert couldn't get any better, it tasted even better the following night.  There's just one thing that I would change next time I make it would be the amount of peanut butter.  It was just a littlleeee too thick and I think the peanut butter was to blame.  Other than that, enjoy!!
