Ingredients:

1 (15–18 oz) fudge brownie mix

2 (10 oz each) bags mini Reese’s peanut butter cups

4 cups 2% milk (cold)

2 (3.4 oz each) boxes instant vanilla pudding

1 cup creamy peanut butter

4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 (8 oz tubs) frozen Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions:

Prepare the Brownies:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions and spread into the pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely, then cut into ¾-inch cubes.

Make the Pudding Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mixes, cold milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in 1½ cups of Cool Whip until fully incorporated.

Assemble the Layers:

In a clear glass trifle dish or large serving bowl, begin with a layer of brownie cubes. Sprinkle half of the mini Reese’s halves on top. Spread one-third of the pudding mixture over the candy layer.

Repeat the Layers:

Add another layer of brownies, the remaining Reese’s pieces, and another third of the pudding mix. Top with the final layer of brownies and remaining pudding mixture.

Finish & Chill:

Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the top. Garnish with additional Reese’s halves if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
