Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3.9 ounces vanilla or chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • 25 Reese’s Miniatures, halved
  • 8 ounces bag Reese’s Minis
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Preparing Your Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

Cream Cheese and Pudding Mixture

Begin by beating the softened cream cheese and instant pudding mix together until the mixture is entirely smooth. This can take a few minutes, so be patient for that perfect creamy base!

Incorporate Milk Gradually

Slowly add in the milk, pouring about ¼ cup at a time. Make sure each addition is fully combined before adding more to ensure a silky texture.

Add Peanut Butter

Now it’s time to mix in the creamy peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is uniform and fully combined, enhancing that rich flavor of peanut butter goodness.

Fold in the Cool Whip

Gently fold in the Cool Whip, aiming for a light, fluffy consistency. Be careful not to deflate the mixture too much; we want to preserve that airy texture.

Mix in Candies and Chocolate Chips

Add in the halved Reese’s Miniatures and mini chocolate chips. Stir carefully to evenly distribute all those delicious chunks throughout the fluff.

Chill the Fluff

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully and gives the fluff time to set.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff with dippers like apple slices, graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers, or even peanut butter cookies for a delightful treat. It’s also enjoyable on its own with a spoon!

Tips for Success

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing.
  • For a chocolate lover’s twist, use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step; it’s essential for the best flavor and texture!

Variations

  • Swap out Reese’s Miniatures for other candy like Snickers or M&Ms for different flavor combinations.
  • Make it a layered dessert by alternating layers of fluff with crushed cookies in a glass.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The fluff may thicken but can be revitalized by folding in a little extra Cool Whip before serving.
