Peanut Butter Oreo Trifle

I made this yummy dessert for a dinner party last week and I just had to share it with y'all!  It was a cinch to whip up (no baking required) and it included my favorite 2 treats: peanut butter and oreos. It's basically a trifle, with different layers of oreos crumbs, peanut butter mousse, reeses cups, and then a chocolate pudding.  Is your mouther watering yet? 

I would definitely recommend trying this dessert out -- it serves about 12, so it would be great for a work party or big group event.   You could even serve the layers up in mini bowls for individual servings!

(Quick tip - make sure you set aside chilling time - 3 hours.)
