Ingredients

• 1 box Brownie mix
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Chocolate syrup
• 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box.

Step 2

Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, using the eggs, vegetable oil, and water.

Step 3

Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking pan and bake as directed on the package (approximately 30-35 minutes). Allow the brownies to cool completely.

Step 4

While the brownies are cooling, prepare the peanut butter mousse. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and beat until fully combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture gently, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Set the peanut butter mousse aside.

Step 8

Cut the cooled brownies into bite-sized squares.

Step 9

Assemble the trifle in a large glass trifle dish or bowl. Start with a layer of brownie pieces at the bottom.

Step 10

Spread a generous layer of the peanut butter mousse over the brownies.

Step 11

Sprinkle a handful of mini chocolate chips over the mousse layer.

Step 12

Drizzle a small amount of chocolate syrup over the chocolate chips.

Step 13

Repeat the layering process (brownies, peanut butter mousse, mini chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup) until the dish is filled or ingredients are used up, ending with a mousse layer on top.

Step 14

Optional: Garnish the top layer with extra mini chocolate chips, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for added texture.

Step 15

Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 16

Serve chilled and enjoy your 'Heaven in a Bowl Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle'!
