Ingredients Needed For No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Icebox Cake

  • Cream Cheese– you will want to soften it (take it out of the refrigerator for at least an hour in advance) so it will mix easily into the peanut butter.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter– you can use crunchy if you prefer.
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Cool Whip– Cool Whip is great to use because it is convenient and it is very stable. You can use fresh whipped cream if you prefer.
  • Chocolate Graham Crackers– I have noticed Chocolate Graham Crackers have gotten really hard to find. If you have a Kroger near you, they have a store-brand Chocolate Graham Cracker. You can use regular Graham Crackers or Oreo Cookies instead.
  • Mini Peanut Butter Cups
  • Fudge Sauce

Recipe Tips

Should be made 2 to 6 hours in advance so the graham crackers have time to get a little soft.

Will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator if covered well with plastic wrap.
