Heaven in a Bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 package Fudge Brownie Mix
• 2 packages Miniature Reese’s Cups; 13 oz Each
• 4 cups 2% Milk; Cold
• 2 packages instant vanilla pudding; 5.1 oz each
• 1 cup Peanut butter; creamy
• 4 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 8 oz Cool Whip; thawed

Instructions:

1. Follow the package instructions to prepare the brownie batter.
2. Pour the batter into a greased 12 x 9-inch baking pan.
3. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick near the middle; when it comes out with moist crumbs, it’s done. Avoid overbaking.
4. Remove from the oven and transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces.

1. Cut the peanut butter cups in half for garnish. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the milk and pudding for 2 minutes until a thick mixture forms.
3. Add peanut butter and vanilla to the pudding mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
4. Gently fold in 1 1/2 containers of whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
5. In a 5-quart glass bowl, create layers: Start with 1/3 of the brownie pieces at the bottom, scatter half of the halved peanut butter cups on top, then spoon 1/3 of the pudding mixture over them. Repeat these layers once more. Finally, add the last layer of brownie pieces, the remaining pudding mixture, and top with the reserved peanut butter cups.
6. Garnish the top layer with the remaining whipped topping.
7. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Enjoy this decadent and delightful dessert!
