No-Bake Nutty Buddy Icebox Cake with step-by-step instructions:
Ingredients
2 boxes chocolate peanut butter wafer bars (like Nutty Buddy or similar)
1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
1½ cups cold milk
Optional: whipped cream or chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
Prepare the pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk.
Beat for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Set aside.
Layer the wafers
In a 9×13-inch baking dish (or similar), arrange a single layer of chocolate peanut butter wafer bars.
If needed, break bars gently to fit the dish.
Add pudding layer
Spread a layer of prepared pudding evenly over the wafer bars.
Repeat layers
Continue alternating layers: wafer bars → pudding → wafer bars → pudding, until you run out of ingredients.
The top layer can be pudding for a nice finish.
Chill the cake
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
This allows the wafers to soften and absorb some of the pudding, giving the “icebox cake” texture.
Serve
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Optional: top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed wafers for extra decoration.
Tips:
For extra peanut butter flavor, you can drizzle melted peanut butter between layers.
Make sure the pudding is thick enough, or the layers may slide when slicing.
