8 oz whipped topping

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

¼ cup milk

2 tbsp chocolate syrup

Instructions

2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.

3. Fold in half of the whipped topping to lighten the mixture.

4. In a trifle bowl, layer half of the brownies, followed by half the peanut butter mixture, then whipped topping and peanut butter cups.

5. Repeat the layers until ingredients are used up.

6. Finish with whipped topping and drizzle chocolate syrup on top.

7. Sprinkle extra chopped peanut butter cups as garnish.

8. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Slightly underbake your brownies for a fudgier texture that holds well in layers.

Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor meld.
