Ingredients

Scale

1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients to prepare it)

2 bags mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, halved or chopped

In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer the ingredients in this order:

Brownie cubes

Pudding

Repeat layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with whipped topping and plenty of chopped Reese’s and chocolate chunks on top.

Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
