Heaven In A bowl

1st Step: Prepare the Brownie Batter

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the box of the fudge brownie mix to prepare the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

2nd Step: Bake the Brownies

1. Bake the Brownies: Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, indicating that the brownies are baked.
2. Cool the Brownies: Remove the brownies from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

3rd Step: Prepare the Brownie Layers and Peanut Butter Cups

1. Slice the Brownies: Once the brownies are cool, cut them into 3/4-inch thick slices.
2. Prepare the Peanut Butter Cups: Halve the miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and set them aside for garnish.

4th Step: Make the Pudding Mixture

1. Mix Pudding: In a large bowl, beat the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
2. Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Add the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract to the pudding mixture and mix thoroughly.
3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

5th Step: Assemble the Layers

1. Layer the Ingredients: Start by placing one-third of the brownie slices in a 5-quart glass dish.
2. Add Peanut Butter Cups and Pudding: Top with a third of the halved peanut butter cups and a third of the pudding mixture.

6th Step: Repeat and Finish

1. Layer Again: Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with the pudding mixture on top.
2. Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining halved peanut butter cups on top of the final layer of pudding.
3. Chill: Place the dessert in the refrigerator for a few minutes to chill before serving.
