Top with Cool Whip: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top, creating a fluffy white layer.
Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining halved Reese’s cups over the Cool Whip for a finishing touch.
Chill: Place the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set and allow the flavors to meld.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve this trifle in a beautiful glass dish to showcase the layers. Pair it with a strong coffee or an espresso martini to balance the sweetness. You could also serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an extra treat. For a festive touch, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles or edible glitter on top—perfect for holidays or special occasions.

Storage and Meal Prep Tips:
Refrigerate: This trifle keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
Make Ahead: You can make each component a day ahead (bake and cut the brownies, make the pudding mixture) and assemble it right before serving.
Leftovers: The layers meld over time, so if you do have leftovers, don’t worry—the flavors only get better! Just note that after 2-3 days, the brownies may become softer.
Freezing: While it’s possible to freeze the components separately, this dessert is best enjoyed fresh. Freezing the assembled trifle can cause the pudding and Cool Whip to lose their texture.

Variations:
Chocolate Lovers’ Twist: Add a layer of chocolate pudding or chocolate mousse for an even richer chocolate experience.
Healthier Version: Swap the Cool Whip for Greek yogurt or a low-fat whipped topping. You can also use a low-sugar brownie mix or substitute sugar-free pudding.
Peanut Butter and Jelly: Add a layer of strawberry or raspberry preserves for a PB&J-inspired twist that adds a bit of tartness.
Oreo Brownie Trifle: For an extra layer of crunch, add crumbled Oreo cookies between the layers, and sprinkle some on top as a garnish.
Mini Trifles: For an elegant presentation, layer this trifle in individual mason jars or dessert cups. This is perfect for dinner parties or to make portion control easier.

Conclusion:
This Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle truly is heaven in a bowl. It’s a show-stopping dessert that’s easy to assemble and guaranteed to impress. Whether you’re a chocolate fanatic, peanut butter lover, or just looking for a fun dessert to share, this trifle checks every box.
