Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownies
Bake the brownie mix according to package instructions. Once completely cooled, cut into small cubes and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer
In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until thickened. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
Step 3: Create the Peanut Butter Cream
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and creamy peanut butter until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
Step 4: Fold in the Whipped Topping
Gently fold the whipped topping into the peanut butter mixture until blended and fluffy.
Step 5: Assemble the Trifle
In a large trifle dish, layer half of the brownie cubes on the bottom. Spoon a layer of chocolate pudding over the brownies, then spread a layer of the peanut butter cream. Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups.
Step 6: Repeat the Layers
Add another layer of brownies, followed by pudding, peanut butter cream, and top with the remaining peanut butter cups.
Step 7: Chill Before Serving
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the layers set and flavors meld. Serve chilled for a decadent, crowd-pleasing dessert that everyone will rave about.
This Peanut Butter Cup Trifle is the ultimate combination of chocolate and peanut butter, delivering creamy, fudgy, and crunchy textures in every spoonful.
