# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Use a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter, then press the mixture into a 9" x 13" pan or dish. Pop it in the freezer while you move on to the next layer.
02 -
Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and milk with a mixer on medium speed until it looks light and fluffy. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Evenly spread this over the cookie crust, and let it chill in the freezer while you handle the chocolate layer.
03 -
Combine the pudding mix and milk in a bowl. Use less milk than the box says to make it thicker. Spread this pudding mixture over the peanut butter layer, and leave it in the fridge for about 5 minutes to start firming up.
04 -
Spread whipped topping over everything. Decorate with chopped Mini Reese's, chocolate syrup (if you'd like), and peanut butter chips. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours before digging in.
