How to Make Sweetslady's Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

**Brownies:**
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely before proceeding.
**Trifle Assembly:**
In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Stir in ½ cup creamy peanut butter and 2 tablespoons milk until well combined.
Gently fold in 16 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent) until just combined.
Crumble half of the cooled brownies into the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl or a 13x9 inch dish.
Spread half of the peanut butter cream mixture evenly over the brownie layer.
Crumble the remaining brownies over the peanut butter cream.
Top with the remaining peanut butter cream.
Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup.
Garnish with chopped peanut butter cups.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
