   FILLING
   3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
   1 cup creamy peanut butter
   1 (16-ounce) can vanilla ready-to-spread frosting
   1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (about 16)
   TOPPING
   4 (1.6-ounce) packages or 8 (0.6-oz.) chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped, broken into pieces
   1/4 cup milk
   1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
