Ingredients
2 boxes chocolate pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
16 oz whipped topping (divided)
20 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
15 peanut butter sandwich cookies, chopped
1/2 cup chocolate fudge sauce
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens. Chill for 5 minutes.
2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Fold in half of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture and set aside.
4. Chop the Reese’s, cookies, and chocolate bar or chips for layering and garnish.
5. Begin assembling in a trifle dish: layer pudding, cookies and Reese’s, cream cheese mixture, and drizzle with fudge sauce. Repeat layers.
6. Top the final layer with remaining whipped topping, extra candies, and a drizzle of fudge.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to set and allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Make a day ahead to intensify the flavors and allow better structure.
For a peanut-free version, substitute with almond butter and nut-free candy.
Homemade whipped cream can be used but stabilize it for firmer layers.
