Ingredients

1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips
4-1/4 cups cold milk, divided
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 packages (5.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 Nestlé Crunch candy bars (1.55 ounces each), crumbled

Directions

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
In a heavy saucepan, combine chips, 1/4 cup milk and cream. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, whisk remaining milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick).
To assemble, crumble half of the cake into a 4-qt. trifle bowl or large bowl. Layer half of the peanut butter sauce, pudding, whipped topping and candy bars; repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
