Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Trifles
Makes 6
Brownies
Brownie mix (your favorite)
15-20 peanut butter cups
Pudding
2 instant chocolate pudding mixes (3.9 oz. each)
3 cups milk
Whipped Cream
3 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Extras

1. Make your favorite brownie batter or use a boxed mix. Spread half of the batter in a 9X9 dish and layer 15-20 peanut butter cups on top of the batter. Spread other half of batter on top of the candies and bake as directed. Cool and cut into 1-inch squares.
2. Place pudding ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with a wire whisk until thickened and set, about 2 minutes.
3. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip cream, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold half the whipped cream into the pudding until combined.
4. Layer 6 16-oz. wide-mouth jars (or similar containers) with brownies, then chocolate pudding, then chopped-up peanut butter cups (saving a few for the very top), then more brownies, then whipped cream.
5. Chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Before serving, add a few more candy pieces and chocolate sprinkles for decoration.
