# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Whip the cold heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Mix in powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then beat until firm peaks hold. Keep it cool until you're ready to use.
02 -
Blend creamy peanut butter and softened cream cheese together. Pour in the pudding mix, milk, and the rest of the salt. Beat until completely smooth. Gently fold in most of the whipped cream but save 2 cups for later.

Break the brownie chunks into pieces, keeping aside 1/2 cup for topping. In a clear trifle bowl, layer 1 1/3 cups brownie pieces, 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups, and 2 cups of the pudding mixture. Repeat this pattern until filled. Spread leftover whipped cream on top, then finish with the reserved candy and brownie crumbs.

Can be prepped up to 12 hours in advance. Keep it chilled. Use softened cream cheese for a silky texture. Looks stunning in a glass serving dish.
