Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Chocolate cake mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 2 3.9-ounce boxes Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 14 pieces Peanut butter cups, coarsely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions. Bake in a 9x13-inch pan and allow it to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with milk according to package instructions. Refrigerate until set.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half (8 ounces) of the whipped topping to create a fluffy peanut butter layer.
Once the cake has cooled, cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large trifle dish, assemble the layers: Start with a layer of chocolate cake cubes, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, a layer of the peanut butter mixture, and a sprinkle of chopped peanut butter cups.
Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of whipped topping and a generous sprinkle of chopped peanut butter cups on top.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this rich, creamy dessert with your loved ones!
