Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Crust: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy, then fold in 1½ cups whipped topping.
Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the peanut butter mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Prepare the Chocolate Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mixes and cold milk until thickened. Let stand for 3 minutes.
Add the Pudding Layer: Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Top and Decorate: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill the dessert overnight before serving. You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for added texture or use gluten-free chocolate cookies to make this dessert gluten-free. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
