Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle Recipe
  • Prep: 1 hour + chilling
  • Yield: 20 Servings
40 20 60

Ingredients

  • 1 fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size)
  • 1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips
  • 2 packages (13 ounces each) miniature peanut butter cups
  • 4 cups cold 2% milk
  • 2 packages (5.1 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cartons (8 ounces each) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  • Prepare brownie batter according to package directions; stir in peanut butter chips. Bake in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack; cut into 3/4-in. pieces.
  • Cut peanut butter cups in half; set aside 1/3 cup for garnish. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Add peanut butter and vanilla; mix well. Fold in 1-1/2 cartons whipped topping.
  • Place a third of the brownies in a 5-qt. glass bowl; top with a third of the remaining peanut butter cups. Spoon a third of the pudding mixture over the top. Repeat layers twice. Cover with remaining whipped topping; garnish with reserved peanut butter cups. Refrigerate until chilled. Yield: 20 servings (1 cup each).

<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 took this to my daughters' school's semi-annual potluck lunch fundraiser and was told I will be in charge of desserts until she graduates! She is in pre-school in a pre-K thru 8th school, so I will be making it a lot more I guess :)

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!!

A huge hit with the chocolate lovers in my family.

This was quick and easy to make. My husband loved it. I omitted the peanut butter chips. When I make it again I would probably cut the amount of peanut butter in the pudding mixture.
