I love the chocolate/peanut butter taste! I found this in a cooking magazine, it originally called for Nestle Crunch Bars, but I don't care for those, so I decided to use the peanut butter cups. Try a different candy bar and find your favorite! I am not positive about the prep time, but it includes chilling.
Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
10 ounces peanut butter chips
4 1/4 cups cold milk, divided
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 (6 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (12 ounce) carton cool whip, thawed
4 -6 reese's peanut butter cups, crumbled
Directions:
1. Prepare cake mix according to directions, let cool completely.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine chips, 1/4 c milk and the whipping cream.
3. Cook and stir over low heat until chips are melted.
4. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and cool to room temp.
5. (If you don't melt the chips on high heat, it will only take a 1/2 hour to cool) Place the remaining milk in a mixing bowl; beat in the pudding mixes on low speed for 2 minutes.
6. To assemble, crumble half the cake into a 4 qt trifle bowl or large bowl.
7. Layer with 1/2 the peanut butter sauce, pudding, whipped topping and then repeat layers.
8. At the end, add the crumbled peanut butter cups.
9. Cool for 3 hours.
