Chocolate Peanut Butter Parfaits

By deb49

These rich and creamy parfaits are a great option for a light dessert, I love making them anytime we are entertaining a small to medium group!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat chunky peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 cups cold fat-free milk, divided
• 1 cup plus 6 tablespoons reduced-fat whipped topping, divided
• 1 package (1.4 ounces) sugar-free instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped salted peanuts

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and 2 tablespoons milk. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping and set aside.

In another small bowl, whisk remaining milk with the pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.

Spoon half of the pudding into six parfait glasses or dessert dishes. Layer with reserved peanut butter mixture and remaining pudding. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate remaining whipped topping.

Just before serving, garnish each parfait with 1 tablespoon whipped topping and 1-1/2 teaspoons peanuts.
