Instructions

1. Make the Peanut Butter Pudding Layer

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined and smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

2. Assemble the Cake Layers

  • In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
  • Spread half of the peanut butter pudding mixture evenly over the crackers.
  • Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining peanut butter pudding mixture.
  • Finish with a final layer of graham crackers on top.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Topping

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for about 30 seconds, until warm but not boiling.
  • Add the chocolate chips and butter, then stir until melted and smooth. (You can microwave in 10-second intervals if needed.)
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, then pour the chocolate glaze over the top layer of graham crackers. Spread evenly.

4. Chill & Serve

Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results). This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together perfectly.

When ready to serve, slice into squares and enjoy!
