Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

I made this last night for a party. It is super good, super rich, and easy! Enjoy!
1 fudge brownie mix (13 x 9 size)
2 packages (10 oz) miniature peanut butter cups
4 cups cold milk
2 large boxes (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 teaspoons vanilla
1 large carton (20 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed


Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Cool and cut into 3/4" pieces.

Cut peanut butter cups in half, set aside 1/3 cup for garnish.

In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 min. Let stand for 2 min. until soft-set. Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Fold in 3/4 of the carton of whipped topping.

Place a third of the brownies in trifle bowl. Top with a third of the peanut butter cups. Spoon a third of the pudding mixture over the top. Repeat layers twice more. Cover top with remaining cool whip and garnish with reserved peanut butter cups. Refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve.
