What happens when I go shopping for a new dessert?  Chocolate and peanut butter, of course.  I’m pretty sure this flavor combination is as good as it gets, and this dessert tops them all.  Creamy layers of peanut butter and chocolate topped with Butterfinger…YUMMY! And beyond the yum factor, can I talk about how adorable these babies are?  Seriously perfect for any Halloween party you have coming up.

This RIP Halloween dessert is such a fun addition to your Halloween celebrations, and easy to make. I made mine in individual cups, which will make about 12-15 cups or you can use a 9×13 pan. However you serve it, everyone will love it!

Instructions

Peanut Butter Mousse Layer:

Prepare the vanilla pudding as directed and let it set up for 10 minutes.  Fold in 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1 heaping cup of cool whip.  Fold until blended completely and place in the refrigerator.

Chocolate Mousse Layer:

Make chocolate pudding as directed and let it set up for 10 minutes.  Fold in 1 heaping cup of cool whip, mixing completely and refrigerate.

Cream Cheese Layer:

Mix together one package (8 oz.) of cream cheese with one cup of powdered sugar.  Stir until well blended.

Once all three layers are made, start with the peanut butter mousse and spoon it into your container. Next layer the cream cheese mixture, smoothing it out over the peanut butter mousse.  Top with the chocolate mousse.

In a baggie, crush together Butterfinger and chocolate graham crackers.  Sprinkle over the dessert. Lastly, place the Wilton tombstones and bones on the top.  Making a fun and delicious graveyard!

This fun dessert is delicious enough to eat it with a spoon, but why stop there?  I made this as a dip, so grab some cookies or graham crackers and let the dipping begin!

Have Fun Making Yummy Desserts!
