How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip
Step 1: Mix the Cream Cheese
Place the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.
Beat until smooth and creamy.
Using room-temperature cream cheese makes this step much easier and prevents lumps.
Step 2: Add the Pudding Mix
Mix the chocolate pudding mix into the cream cheese until fully incorporated.
Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Add the Milk and Peanut Butter
Pour in the milk.
Add the creamy peanut butter.
Beat until everything is fully combined into a thick, creamy mixture.
Step 4: Fold in the Whipped Topping
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping.
This keeps the dip light and fluffy.
Step 5: Stir in the Candy
Gently fold in:
- Reese’s Baking Chips
- Reese’s Pieces
Mix just enough to distribute the candy throughout the dip.
Step 6: Decorate
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Top with:
- Reese’s Miniatures
- Reese’s Pieces
- Reese’s Baking Chips
- A full-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in the center for an eye-catching presentation.
