Here's a fun, layered dessert that will appeal to all ages. If you want it even nuttier, you can use chunky peanut butter, and if you're not a fan of cashews, substitute your favorite nut. âBarbara Schindler, Napoleon, Ohio Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed |
1-1/2 cups chopped cashews, divided |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided |
2-2/3 cups cold milk |
1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix |
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix |
1 milk chocolate candy bar (1.55 ounces), coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Place flour and butter in a food processor; cover and process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1 cup cashews; pulse a few times until combined.
2. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
3. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spoon over crust.
4. In another bowl, whisk milk and both pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle with chopped candy bar and remaining cashews. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Yield: 12-16 servings.
