Peanut Butter Cup Trifle

                 Don't you love when the hardest part about making a dessert is to unwrap
           peanut butter cups? Well, I sure do appreciate this time saving impressive dessert.

                Chocolate and peanut butter mixed in with creamy pudding - I'd say that this is
                    as dreamy and creamy as a dessert can get. Maybe for your Easter table?

                                                            Peanut Butter Cup Trifle

                                               1 box brownie mix - baked and cooled
                                               1 package miniature peanut butter cups
                                               2 packages ( 5.1 ounce ) instant vanilla pudding
                                               4 cups cold milk
                                               1 cup creamy peanut butter
                                               1 teaspoons vanilla extract
                                               3 cartons ( 8 ounces ) each frozen whipped topping, thawed.

            1) Bake brownies according to package - cool and cut into pieces. Set aside.
         
            2) Cut peanut butter cups and set aside. Save some for garnish. In a large bowl -
            whisk together pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Mixture will be thick.
            Add peanut butter and vanilla mix well. Fold in 1 1/2 cartons whipped topping.

           3) Place a third of the brownies in trifle of 5qt glass bowl. Top with a third of the
           peanut butter cups. Spoon a third of the pudding mixture over the top. Repeat
           layers twice. Cover with remaining whipped topping. Garnish with remaining
           peanut butter cups. Refrigerate until chilled.

                          Note - there is a little topping let over. Enjoy with a spoon. Hehe
