Ingredients
- 1 package of fudge brownie mix
- 2 packages of miniature Reese’s cups
- 4 cups of cold milk (preferably 2%)
- 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 cans (8 oz each) of thawed Cool Whip
Instructions
1. Prepare the Brownies
First, follow the directions on the box to make the brownie batter. Pour the batter into a buttered 12×9-inch pan. Set your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
2. Cool and Slice the Brownies
Once baked, place the pan on a wire rack to cool. After cooling, slice the brownies into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Halve the miniature Reese’s cups and set aside.
3. Prepare the Pudding Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thick. Add the vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter, mixing thoroughly. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of Cool Whip until well combined.
4. Assemble the Dessert
In a 5-quart glass dish, layer one-third of the brownie pieces. Top with a layer of the halved Reese’s cups and then a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers twice more, ensuring the top layer is the pudding mixture.
5. Final Touches
Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top layer. Garnish with the reserved Reese’s cups. Chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
