Ingredients
– 1 (14.4-oz) box of chocolate graham crackers

– 1 cup of peanut butter
– 3.5 cups of milk
– 1 (8-oz) container of Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions
1. Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with whole graham crackers. You may need to break some crackers to fit the pan.
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the pudding, milk, and peanut butter. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth and thick. Fold in the Cool Whip with a spatula.
3. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the graham crackers and spread it evenly. Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding. Repeat with the remaining pudding mixture and graham crackers.
4. Remove the lid and foil from the frosting can and microwave it for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted and smooth. Pour the frosting over the top layer of graham crackers and spread it evenly.
5. Refrigerate the cake for at least 12 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors and textures blend together.
6. Cut into slices and serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
