PEANUT BUTTER - CHOCOLATE PUDDING PARFAITS
My mom had this recipe hand written on an old recipe card. It is so tasty and can be fairly low in fat if you use low fat/fat free milk, Cool Whip and chocolate syrup. And it's so good you'll never know the difference! Cook time is chill time.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the peanut butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Mix together until combined into a thick muddy mess.
- 2. Stir in the whipped topping. You can save a little to use on top. I saved about a cup of whipped topping to use as garnish.
- 3. In a separate bowl add the milk and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second intervals stirring after each cycle until it's melted.
- 4. It's time to assemble. You can use a pie plate, glass pan, small bowls, etc. I used 4 stemless glasses. Start with a layer of crumbled graham crackers.
- 5. Then add some of the peanut butter mixture. Then chocolate ganache. Then some whipped topping if you want.
- 6. Then keep going with the crumbled graham crackers, peanut butter mixture and chocolate ganache until you run out of peanut butter filling.
- 7. Top with the whipped topping and a graham cracker. I think crumbled peanut butter cups would look yummy on top. Then you are done.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you want a more decadent parfait, add a layer of whipped cream or ice cream.
- For a healthier parfait, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
- To make the parfaits more kid-friendly, use chocolate syrup or sprinkles.
- For a fun twist, try using different types of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, instead of peanuts.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter chocolate parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a parfait that is both satisfying and delicious.
