In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar; beat until combined. Add peanut butter, cream, and vanilla; beat until combined. Fold in 3/4 cup whipped cream. Carefully spread peanut butter mixture over top of chocolate-peanut butter candies. Refrigerate until completely set, about 2-3 hours.
