Layered Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert

20 oreos, divided

2 Tbls butter, melted

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided

1 carton (16 oz) CoolWhip, thawed and divided

15 miniature peanut butter cups, chopped

1 cup cold milk

1 package (3.9 oz) instant choc fudge pudding mix

Crush 16 Oreos; toss with the butter, and press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth.  Fold in half of the CoolWhip.  Spread over crust.  Sprinkle with peanut butter cups.

Beat the milk, pudding mix, and remaining powdered sugar (1/2 cup) on low speed for 2 minutes.  Fold in remaining CoolWhip.  Spread over peanut butter cups.  Crush remaining cookies; sprinkle over the top.  Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.

(This is my kids' all-time favorite dessert.  Apparently, a love of PB and chocolate is genetic.)
