Brownie Peanut Butter Trifle

Do you ever prepare a dessert hoping that you don't have leftovers? Sure….deep down I'd love a little left, but I have a big sweet tooth so it's best if that sugary goodness just leaves our house.

This is that one dessert that is sooooo good that your guests will devour!

It makes a nice size dessert to feed a crowd.

It is so simple in that you can make it ahead of your event. I've made it as early as the evening before. You'll want to keep it refrigerated. It also works well if you want to make individual servings in dessert cups.

Best part of all…..you can easily make this one ahead and it travels well for a covered dish.

I am not exactly sure where I got this dessert. I've had it written on a sheet of paper and have been making for double digit years. 

I purchased all of my ingredients at Aldi and Walmart so I adapted them to the products that I purchased.

I actually have 2 trifle bowls. You can use them for more than just a trifle. They are gorgeous for a layered salad, green salad and fruit.

You just don't see people do trifles very often, so it is really the unexpected.

You could actually make this recipe even simpler by skipping the brownie making step! Most grocery store bakeries sell the containers of the brownie bites. Just by 1 container of those and crumble them up. The beauty of this recipe is that you don't have to be totally exact!

You just don't realize how hard it was for me to NOT snack as I prepared the trifle.

The pudding mixed with the peanut butter is a dessert in itself!

Brownie Peanut Butter Trifle

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1-18 ounce package of brownie mix
  • 2-3.4 ounce packages of instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1-1/4 cups of whipping cream, whipped and divided
  • 2-1/2 cups oarsely chopped peanut butter cup candies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownies according to the directions on the box. I line the pan with tinfoil. This makes it easy to remove the brownies for chopping.
  2. Lift foil from pan and cool completely. Remove foil. Cut brownies into 3/4 inch chunks.
  3. Combine pudding mix and milk in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a low speed with a mixer for about 2 minutes until thickened. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Beat to combine. Mixture should be smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 of the whipped whipping cream.
  5. Set remaining whipping cream aside.
  6. Place 1/2 of the brownies in the bottom of a 3 quart trifle dish.
  7. Top with 1-1/4 cups of chopped peanut butter candies.
  8. Layer on 1/2 of the pudding.
  9. Repeat layers
  10. Pipe or spoon on the remaining whipping cream.
  11. Garnish with peanut butter candies.

Notes

Most of my ingredients were purchased at Aldi. This is fairly relaxed. Your brownie box can be the same size give or take.

    Oh my!! Looks so good and I can’t wait for the holidays! I think you are right about trifle bowls just sitting for long periods of time. I try to use mine as often as I can because they do look so pretty.
    My nieces and their moms are all huge chocolate eaters and I know this would be right up their alley. Thank goodness I’m not into chocolate like I used to be years ago because I think I could devour the entire dish!

    I’ve made this a few times and it’s always a big hit. The last time I made it I added chopped nutter butters and drissled melted peanut butter at each layer. It turned out absolutely delicious! Thank you, Christy for this wonderful recipe! Pinned!

      Thanks so much! I love your idea! Great thing about this trifle is that you can really whip up your own variations.

    This looks so good, Christy! I have a horrible sweet tooth and I would hope for no leftovers if I took it to a party because I know that once I got it home that I would not be able to stay out of it.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
