Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare brownie batter according to package directions using oil, water, and eggs. Bake in a greased 8x8 inch pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely, then crumble.
  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions using milk. Let it set for a few minutes.
  • In a trifle dish or individual glasses, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of crumbled brownies, followed by a layer of peanut butter mousse, then a layer of chocolate pudding. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with pudding.
  • Top with whipped cream and chopped peanut butter cups. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For an extra fudgy brownie, slightly underbake it. You can also add a layer of chocolate ganache for added richness.
