Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

Ingredients:

• 1 fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size)
• 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
• 2 cartons (8 ounces each) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions:

1. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Bake in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan at 350°F 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.
2. Cut peanut butter cups in half; set aside 1/3 cup for garnish.
3. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Add peanut butter and vanilla; mix well.
4. Fold in 1-1/2 cartons whipped topping.
5. Place a third of the brownies in a 5-qt. glass bowl; top with a third of the remaining peanut butter cups.
6. Spoon a third of the pudding mixture over the top. Repeat layers twice.
7. Cover with remaining whipped topping; garnish with reserved peanut butter cups.
8. Refrigerate until chilled.
