Ingredients

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  1. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into coarse crumbs. Reserve a small handful for the topping.
  2. Press the remaining cookie crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create an even crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the peanut butter and continue mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until light and fluffy.
  6. Spread the filling evenly over the cookie crust using a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs evenly over the top.
  8. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until the dessert is firm enough to slice.
  9. Remove from the freezer and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into bars and serving.

Chef’s Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest, creamiest texture.
  • For cleaner slices, dip a sharp knife in warm water and wipe it dry between cuts.
  • Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow bars to soften slightly before serving.
  • For extra peanut butter flavor, drizzle melted peanut butter over the top just before serving.
  • Mini chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter cups make an excellent garnish for special occasions.
