This recipe is a simple adaption of a Taste of Home recipe 'Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert'. I simply embellish it (as if it needs it), tweak a few directions and ingredients, and present it in a trifle bowl. Trifle bowls make everything look beautiful.
12-16 servings Prep time 20 min + chilling (4+ hours when in a trifle bowl)
Ingredients
1 package chocolate cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos - generic tastes fine) chopped, divided
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese softened
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar (aka powdered sugar), divided
1 carton (16 oz) frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed, divided
25 miniature peanut butter cups chopped
1 cup cold milk
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
