Instructions
- Combine peanut butter and cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, add 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter and 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese. Use an electric mixer to blend the two until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the fluff.
- Add pudding mix and milk: Gradually mix in the 3.4-ounce box of vanilla pudding mix, ensuring it is evenly incorporated. Then decrease the mixer speed and slowly pour in 1 ¼ cups of 2% milk, blending until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
- Fold in whipped topping and chocolate chips: Gently fold the entire 8 ounces of thawed whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture to maintain its light texture. Next, fold in ½ cup of milk chocolate chips, 1 cup of halved Reese’s minis, and ½ cup of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip.
- Garnish the dip: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Reese’s minis and remaining ½ cup of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips evenly over the top of the dip to add texture and visual appeal.
- Chill the dip: Transfer the prepared peanut butter fluff into a serving bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight for best flavor and texture development.
- Serve with dippers: Bring the chilled dip to the table along with an assortment of dippable items such as Nutter Butter Cookies, Nilla wafers, graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, and animal crackers for guests to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother texture.
- For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of 2% milk if desired.
- This dip is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to substitute Reese’s minis with other peanut butter candies or chocolate chips depending on preference.
- If you want to make it vegan, look for dairy-free cream cheese, pudding mix, and whipped topping alternatives.
