Back to TopDelicious, although somewhat time consuming. I've started using the peanut butter recipe only and adding chopped chocolate truffles to the pudding with the peanut butter. Doesn't look as pretty in the glass, but tastes great and my family always asks for it.

This was fantastic! I will say proportionately, there is more peanut butter pudding to chocolate.. I made another 1/2 recipe of chocolate. It's creamy and filling in the best way possible

I don't know what the fuss is all about. It's bland. I've had much better puddings than this, and they're lower in calories too. I make a pudding parfait with chocolate, butterscoth, and vanilla, and any one of those components is better than either of the puddings here. This is not worthy of anyone's time.

所以我做了这个晚宴,一个东西little different. It was good but nothing to write home about. I love peanut butter but this layer was way too sweet, it overpowered the chocolate layer. And it was way to peanut buttery. I am not sure if it was the fact that I used Jif low fat creamy peanut butter or maybe the fact that I de-sweetened the chocolate pudding simply by the fact that I used semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate. But my review stands, the peanut butter layer was way too sweet and overpowered the other flavors of the dish. But that being said I was slightly surprised that peanut butter pudding was not to bad.

Added an extra quarter cup of peanut butter to the PB pudding, and it was perfect. Chocolate pudding was really delicious, but came out with lumps. Maybe will sift the dry ingredients next time? Easy, works as it says it will. Reese's cups lover enjoyed this combo!

Easy but needs more peanut butter, way more. That section of the parfait barely tastes of peanuts. I'll try this again but will ramp up the PB by a considerable margin.

The flavors were wonderful but the portions really were way too much. I divided the recipe into 6 portions as described and was sick to my stomach after eating one portion. - and I normally eat huge desserts! I would make it again but will definitely make 10 or 12 portions out of this recipe!!! Oh, and I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. If you like Reese's cups, you'll like this recipe.

Our family prefers dark choc to milk choc, so I used bittersweet Ghiradelli instead of semi-sweet, and that was good. Adults & kids all liked this. However, next time I'll make this into 8 servings, as these were too big & filling after a full dinner. I didn't have enough time to chill for 2 hours, but 1 hour was fine -- it set properly, just was not cold. This was quite easy to make, and I had most ingredients in the house, so I'll probably make it again.

Outstanding! Have made repeatedly and I don't even like peanut butter. Added touch more kosher salt and used bittersweet chocolate, added tablespoon more peanut butter. Skipped the whipped cream,used martini glasses, garnish with swirl from aerosal whipped cream and rough chopped roasted peanuts. Holds extremely well without garnish in fridge and recipe doubles and triples well. Rich enough that you can halve each serving as well in smaller glasses.

Excellent and easy. Takes about 45 minutes total cooking time I have found. I was running out of time so I threw them into the freezer which greatly sped up the time for them to become thicker. Overall made it 2x and both times to great reviews.

我做了一些调整,这是一个MAZING. i increased the quantities a bit and used mostly (2%) milk and just 1/3 cup of cream in each pudding. i sweetened the chocolate pudding and whipped cream with agave nectar and served the whole thing as a trifle with two layers of graham crackers - one on the bottom of the bowl, one in between the layers of pudding. i sprinkled cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream on top. people were drooling! oh and yes, semisweet/dark chocolate for sure.

I only made the chocolate pudding part of this recipe and poured it into an oreo cookie pie crust. It was easy and really good! I will make this again!

Made this recipe last night. SO GOOD! It was really fast, easy, and amazingly delicious, albeit pretty decadent. (Couldn't quite finish it, but now I have leftovers-yay!) This is a really solid recipe especially if you are in the mood for comfort food. Will definitely be making again, although it might be fun to play around with a coconut, chocolate variation...hmmm.
