Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

  

Caleb wanted something with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups in it for his birthday dessert.  We made this with peanut butter brownies and chocolate mousse.  Wow, it was so rich!!!  Really good stuff!!!

Brownie Layer:

1 box(es) (19.8-ounce) brownie mix 1 cup(s) peanut butter 1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar 3 tablespoon(s) melted butter 2 large egg

1. Prepare brownie mix as label directs for 9" by 13" pan. In bowl, stir peanut butter, sugar, melted butter, and egg until smooth. Dollop peanut butter mixture onto brownie batter in pan; fold in. Bake according to directions and then cool.

Mousse Menu:

• 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1. In a large bowl, combine pudding mix, water and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until smooth, then fold in 8 ounces whipped topping until no streaks remain.  

You will also need:

• 12 oz. cool whip
• Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for garnishing

In a trifle bowl or glass serving dish, place half of the brownies, half of the pudding mixture and half of the 12 ounce container of whipped topping. Repeat layers. Garnish with peanut butter cups. Refrigerate 8 hours before serving.  

***In the case of these glasses I used only half of the brownies and a total of 2 - 8oz. cool whips.  I made a 10 glasses to have setting by each birthday plate.
