Peanut Butter Trifle

If you like peanut butter and chocolate, and really who doesn’t? This is a dream come true.  This just may be the best thing I have had since these. When making this, I highly recommend you use the seasonal Hersey’s peanut butter cups  i.e., eggs, hearts etc., this avoids the hard chocolate edges of the traditional cups.  Stock up during each holiday season, it’s well worth it!  I still use the traditional cups as garnish, so people know what it is.
