A luscious layer of brownies, creamy peanut butter pudding, and whipped topping create this delightful chocolate peanut butter trifle dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (including ingredients needed for preparation)
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- Chocolate peanut butter cups, for garnish
- Chocolate candy bars, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to bake the brownies. Allow them to cool completely.
- Make the Peanut Butter Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened. Stir in the creamy peanut butter until well combined, then fold in 1 cup of whipped topping.
- Assemble the Trifle: Crumble half of the brownies into the bottom of a trifle dish. Spread half of the peanut butter pudding mixture over the brownie layer. Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts over the pudding layer. Repeat layers with the remaining brownies, pudding, chocolate chips, and peanuts.

Notes
- For extra richness, drizzle chocolate syrup over each layer of brownies.
- Make sure the brownies are completely cool before crumbling to maintain texture.
