Method

CAKE

Prepare cake per instructions on the box.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Then, cut into chunks and let cool completely.

PEANUT BUTTER MOUSSE

Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat together peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until combined.
Fold in Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to assemble trifle.

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat together chocolate pudding mix and whole milk until slightly thickened. Fold in Cool Whip.
Refrigerate until ready to assemble trifle.

CHOCOLATE CRUNCHIES

Using a plastic food storage bag and a rolling pin, crush wafers or Oreo’s until they are small to medium crumbs (not super small). (If using Oreo’s, be sure to first scrape out cream middle.)
Place in a large bowl and mix with 3 tablespoons of Magic Shell until all crumbs are coated. Place in refrigerator until ready to assemble trifle.

ASSEMBLY

In a trifle bowl, place a layer of white cake pieces. Then, cover with 1/3 of the peanut butter layer and some chocolate crunchies. Add half of the chocolate mousse and sprinkle half of the Reese’s peanut butter chips on top.
Repeat with another layer of cake, 1/3 of the peanut butter layer and chocolate crunchies. Add the last half of chocolate mousse and last half of Reese’s peanut butter chips. Top with the last 1/3 of the peanut butter layer and decorate with any remaining chocolate crunchies.
Pop in the fridge for a few minutes to set and then add a drizzle of Magic Shell on the top. Keep trifle refrigerated. (You most likely will not use entire cake.)

STORAGE

Cover trifle tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
