Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese spread room temperature (1 tub)*
7 ounces marshmallow fluff (1 tub)**
1¼ cup creamy peanut butter ***
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces whipped topping thawed if frozen
1 cup mini chocolate chips divided
3 cups chopped peanut butter cups divided****

For Serving (Optional)

Chocolate sauce for drizzling
Oreo cookies, graham crackers, or vanilla wafers
Apple slices, fresh strawberries, or bananas

Instructions

Set aside a medium-sized serving dish. Place the chopped peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips into the freezer in freezer-safe dishes or ziplock bags.
Place the cream cheese spread, marshmallow creme, and peanut butter on medium speed in the bowl of a stand or hand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until well combined.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping and incorporate thoroughly.

Take out the frozen chocolates and mix in ¾ of a cup of the mini chocolate chips and 2 cups peanut butter cups. Return the remaining peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips to the freezer.
0.75 cup mini chocolate chips, 2 cups chopped peanut butter cups
Take the completed peanut butter fluff and place it in your serving dish, then put it in the fridge to chill for 2-3 hours.
When you are ready to serve, place the remaining ¼ cup of the mini chocolate chips and the remaining cup of peanut butter cups on top and serve with optional sides.

Notes

*Cream cheese spread is lighter and easier to work with. Regular cream cheese can be used, but fully soften it ahead of time.

**This can be omitted, but the consistency may change. I prefer to replace it with more cream cheese for a less sweet option.

***Chunky peanut butter is a great alternative and will add more texture to your fluff. Do not use natural peanut butter, as it tends to turn oily and separate.

****I used mini Reese's cups, but any size will work; chop to fit. Reese’s Pieces or even chopped Butterfinger would be fun!

Tips:

Freeze all the chocolates before you cut them. It makes less mess, and it will not melt all over you!
Make sure the cream cheese and peanut butter are at room temperature for easy, lump-free mixing.
Beat the cream cheese alone for 60 seconds before adding any other ingredients. This friction warms it up and ensures a lump-free base.
Fold in the whipped topping in batches, making it much easier to incorporate into your fluff.
Peanut Butter Fluff is great for a party, and this recipe makes a lot. You can cut this recipe in half if you want a smaller amount.
Serve in a chilled bowl to help the fluff stay firm.

Make-Ahead: You can prepare this dip up to 24 hours in advance. Just wait to add the final garnish of chocolates until right before serving so they stay crisp.
