This dessert was very rich but very delicious. As my dad said, it was decadent. Don't think I've ever heard him use that word! I also cannot fit it in my standard trifle bowl. I think I need a bigger one for this dessert!

Peanut butter lover's dream! The only problem was keeping taster's out of the ingredients while I was putting it all together. Took this to church dinner and had numerous recipe requests.

I've made this several times and it's always a hit. I made one change. Instead of using the brownie mix I used a German Chocolate Cake mix, baking it according to package directions for a 13 x 9 pan, omitting the peanut butter chips. When it was cool, I cut it into small, maybe 1 x 1 squares, and layered it as I would have the brownies. It makes for a somewhat less rich dessert.

I have made this recipe so many times & the compliments are always great. I too have moved to making it in layers. I use a large serving bowl or a casserole pan.This way you get all the great ingredients. I never have any leftovers.

I made this but I used a shallower bowl, white chocolate instant pudding, forgot the peanut butter chips in the brownies, and only had one tub of whipped topping. I also used the fun-size peanut butter cups, cut them in half, and used the entire bag. Everyone freaking LOVED it LOLOL!!

Everyone raved about this Trifle. It is very rich and sweet, but not a bad thing. The only thing I would change is to buy the bags of ubwrapped Mini Peanut Butter cups and then you can eliminate cutting them in half. Also you could probably get by with less peanut butter cups. The recipe is very full of strong peanut butter flavor, so you can get by with less candy. Other than those changes, it was heavenly!

Have made this several times. Only change I'll be making (daughter's request) is to layer it in a flatter dish as it is somewhat difficult to get through all the layers (and gather all the goodies) to serve in each serving. Also, (friend's request who is a chocoholic) is drizzle a bit of fudge on top (or on each serving).

OUTSTANDING! I've never received so many compliments on a dessert in my life. One guest described this as "heaven in a cloud". I omitted the peanut butter chips and only used 1.5 containers of cool whip because that's all that would fit in my trifle bowl. Will definitely make this one again!

<p>I used only 16 oz. of cool whip, and 1 1/2 bags of the small peanut butter cups, also did not have creamy peanut butter so I used crunchy and omitted the peanut butter chips.  Was a huge it!   Yummy!

I too leave the peanut butter chips out of the brownies (not needed for flavor and also expensive) and use only one bag of peanut butter cups chopped (for same reason as the chips). There's so much of the filling that it still fills a 5 qt. container--i use my glass bucket--to the brim.

I have made this recipe several times. The first time i had to unwrap and cut in half all of those miniature peanut butter cups. Now they have the mini's and they work perfectly. My trifle bowl must not be the right size because I only use 2 of the whipped topping containers.

I made this for Christmas and it was a hit!! I did have some leftovers and took them to work and they were gone by the end of the day! I've been requested to make this for the next work potluck :) I made it with sugar-free pudding and whipped topping. Also used skim milk to make the pudding. I used 4 regular size Reese's cups and chopped them up since they were cheaper to buy than a bag of the miniature. I will definetly make this again!!

Love this recipe. I've changed it up a little bit. I don't always put peanut butter chips in the brownie mix. I've substituted cheesecake pudding for vanilla pudding. I've never added peanut butter to the pudding. I use a 1/2-3/4 of a pan of brownies. I've never used two bags of peanut butter cups. I just put how many I think are enough. It's been a hit every time!

Very good, but expensive. I would use the smaller size peanut butter cups and cut them in fourths!

This dessert is incredible and a huge hit. One time I had leftovers only because there were too many desserts and had to take some home. My husband I didn't want the temptation in the frig so I scoop out individual cups and froze them. It was sooo good frozen or thawed. I almost liked it the best frozen!!

Oh my gosh this is amazing!! It is really sweet so I used sugar free frozen whipped topping. It was such a hit at my son's engagement party that even after I put it away in my cooler to take the remains home, people would get into the cooler for more bites.
