Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Dessert

Just so you guys know, I'm not making all this dessert stuff for us here at home. It just so happens that we have a busy weekend ahead and I volunteered to bring dessert because that's kinda sorta what I like to make. So... now that I've clarified that shall we go on to this creamy yumminess? I combined two recipes for this one and it iiiiis yummy!

Part 1:

3/4 cup cold butter           

1 chocolate cake mix        

1 egg, slightly beaten         

Preheat oven to 350°. Cut cold butter into cake mix with a pastry cutter or a fork until you have reasonably fine crumbs.

 Add the egg and mix well. Press gently into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan.

 Bake 15- 18 minutes.

      Cool completely on a wire rack.

Part 2:

                                                             1/3 cup peanut butter
                                                             8 ounces cream cheese, softened
                                                             1 cup powdered sugar
                                                             4 cups cool whip, divided

Place the first three in a mixer bowl and blend well. Add cool whip and mix gently.

If you whip cool whip too much it gets runny so you might have to finish folding it in with a spatula. Spread over cooled crust and refridgerate.

Part 3:

                                                              2pkg. (3.9 ounce each)
                                                              instant chocolate pudding
                                                              3 cups cold milk

Combine and wisk vigorously for about 2 minutes. Pour over second layer and refridgerate again till completely set.

Top with remaining Cool Whip and garnish with Chocolate Curls.

                                                               

Be Blessed!
