Peanut Butter Trifle

Peanut Butter Trifle

We LOVED this trifle. So yummy, especially if you like the peanut butter and chocolate combination. We have yet to try the original recipe, I didn't truly follow it. There is a link for it at the bottom. Maybe we will save the "original" for another day...

Ingredients:

• 21 ounce package brownie mix
• 10 ounce bag of peanut butter chips
• 5 ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
• 3 oz pkg Chocolate instant pudding mix
  
• 5 cups milk
• 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Whipped Cream or Cool Whip
  
• 24 regular sized (about 2 inches in diameter) peanut butter cups, divided

Preparation:

Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Add peanut butter chips. Bake for length of time required by package. Cool completely.

Cut brownies into 3/4 inch pieces, using sharp knife.

Coarsely chop 20 peanut butter cups; saving 4 for garnish.

Combine vanilla pudding mix and 3 cups of milk in large bowl. Beat at low speed for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add peanut butter and vanilla; beat until smooth. Set aside.

Combine chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk into bowl. Beat at low speed for 2 min or until thickened. Set aside.

Layer Brownies, pudding, cool whip, and candy (first layer with peanut butter pudding, second with chocolate, then third with peanut butter). You will end up with 3 layers, ending with candy on top of cool whip.

Refrigerate
