- 1 (7 oz / 198 g) marshmallow fluff
- 1 (8 oz / 226 g) Cool Whip
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup peanuts or peanut butter cups, crushed
- Graham crackers

Instructions
- Blend Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk softened cream cheese and peanut butter until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Sweeten and Flavor: Gently fold marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture, creating a luxurious, well-integrated foundation with smooth consistency.
- Incorporate Whipped Topping: Delicately introduce whipped topping using folding techniques to preserve its airy volume, maintaining the light and creamy characteristic of the dessert.
- Add Chocolate Accent: Optional step involves carefully dispersing miniature chocolate chips throughout the mixture, distributing them evenly for bursts of chocolatey flavor.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the fluffy mixture into a serving vessel, smoothing the surface, and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to harmonize and texture to stabilize.

Notes
- Whip with Precision: Gently fold whipped topping to maintain its light, airy texture and prevent deflating the cream, ensuring a fluffy, smooth consistency.
- Temperature Matters: Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier blending, creating a more uniform and creamy base without lumps.
- Customize Your Fluff: Swap ingredients for dietary needs – use dairy-free cream cheese or sugar-free alternatives for gluten-free, low-carb, or vegan adaptations.
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerate for at least an hour to let flavors meld and achieve the ideal set, enhancing the overall taste and texture of the dessert.
