A crust of vanilla wafer crumbs and crushed peanuts provides this cool and creamy dessert with an extra tasty base. It's almost guaranteed that I'll bring home an empty pan when I take it to a potluck. -Ardyce Piehl, Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin Ingredients:
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 60 wafers) |
1/3 cup butter, melted |

1/2 cup peanut butter |
4 cups whipped topping, divided |
3 cups cold milk |
2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix |
1 milk chocolate candy bar (1.55 ounces), grated |
