What I’m Bringing To The 4th Of July Cookout!

I went searching for a yummy cool dessert to bring to my family’s 4th of July cookout this weekend and found this one on the Kraft website.  It’s got all my favorite things… Nutter Butter cookies, chocolate, cream cheese and cool whip. How can that be bad?  Wish me luck… if you want to give it a try… I’m posting the recipe. If you are looking for other “no bake” desserts check out www.kraft.com

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Ribbon Dessert
12 NUTTER BUTTER Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies, divided
2 Tbsp.  butter, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup  creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp.  vanilla
1 tub (12 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
2 squares  BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Make It!

CRUSH 8 of the cookies in resealable plastic bag with rolling pin. Mix cookie crumbs and butter. Press onto bottom of foil-lined 9×5-inch loaf pan.

MIX cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in 3 cups of the whipped topping. Spoon 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture into small bowl. Stir in melted chocolate until well blended; set aside. Spoon half of the remaining cream cheese mixture over crust. Top evenly with chocolate mixture; cover with remaining cream cheese mixture.

FREEZE 4 hours or overnight until firm. Invert onto plate. Remove foil, then re-invert onto serving platter so that crumb layer is on bottom. Coarsely break the remaining 4 cookies. Top dessert with remaining whipping topping and cookies.
