Why You’ll Love This Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

This dessert is a no-bake wonder. It comes together in minutes and feeds a crowd without requiring an oven or much fuss. You can make it ahead, refrigerate it, and serve it chilled or slightly softened, making it perfect for summer events or holiday dessert tables.

Kids love it for the marshmallows and candy. Adults go for seconds because it’s not overly sweet and has the perfect mix of creamy and chewy. Plus, it’s flexible — add more candy, swirl in chocolate syrup, or fold in some crushed graham crackers for an extra twist.

What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?

Creamy peanut butter is your best bet here. It gives you the smoothest, fluffiest texture when mixed with cream cheese and whipped topping. Natural peanut butters with oil separation can cause the fluff to break or turn greasy. Stick with classic, shelf-stable peanut butter brands for the best consistency.

Ingredients for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

To make this addictive dessert, you’ll need a short list of everyday ingredients. Each one plays a role in creating that signature fluffiness and peanut butter richness.

• Cream cheese
• Creamy peanut butter
• Powdered sugar
• Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• Mini marshmallows
• Chopped Reese’s cups or Reese’s pieces
• Vanilla extract
• Milk (optional, to thin if needed)

The cream cheese adds tang and structure. Peanut butter brings richness and flavor. Powdered sugar sweetens and smooths the base. Whipped topping adds lightness. Mini marshmallows create a fun, chewy texture, and the chopped Reese’s are the show-stopping add-in. A touch of vanilla deepens the flavor. Add milk only if the mix is too thick to fold easily.

How To Make the Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps before moving on.

Step 2: Add Sweetness

Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat again until well incorporated. You should now have a thick but smooth base.

Step 3: Fold in the Fluff

Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate it too much. If it’s overly thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.

Step 4: Add the Mix-Ins

Fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped Reese’s cups. You can reserve some candy pieces to sprinkle on top as a garnish.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual cups. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld and the fluff set.

How to Store and Serve Reese’s Peanut Butter Fluff

This fluff is best served chilled, straight from the fridge. It makes an ideal party dip with graham crackers, pretzels, or even apple slices. You can also scoop it into bowls like pudding and top with extra Reese’s or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to store it in an airtight container to maintain its texture. The fluff may firm up slightly after chilling, so let it sit out for a few minutes if you want a softer scoop.

This recipe serves about 8 people generously, or more if used as a dip.
