Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 box Pillsbury chocolate cake mix 15.25 ounces, plus ingredients shown on the back of the box to prepare the cake
- 1 package Oreo cookies 15.5 ounces, quartered
For the filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 12 ounces whipped topping divided
Candy Pieces:
- 8 fun-size Butterfinger candy bars chopped
- 1 bag miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups 12 ounces, chopped
Instructions
Make the cake:
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the box directions. Once you have the batter made, fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, then bake according to the package directions. It may need a few more minutes of baking due to the cookie addition, but watch it closely.
- Set the cake on a wire rack to cool. Cool the cake completely before putting the trifle together.
Make the filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened cream cheese, butter and peanut butter. Whip these ingredients together until they are well combined, about 1 minute.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Carefully fold in 8 ounces of the Cool Whip. (You'll use the remaining Cool Whip for layering in the trifle.)
- Cut the cake into small pieces or cubes. Put a layer of cake in the bottom of the trifle dish. Spoon 1/2 of the cream cheese filling on top of the cake. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the peanut butter cups and Butterfinger bars. Put 1/2 of the reserved Cool Whip on top of the candy. Repeat the layers: cake, cream cheese filling, candy and Cool Whip. Then top with the remaining 1/3 of the candy pieces.
- Depending on the size of your trifle dish, you may not be able to fit all of the ingredients in. We used all of our filling, but had about 1/4 of the cake leftover. As you prepare the trifle, be sure to leave enough room so that you can have two of each layer and it will look so pretty!
- Refrigerate until serving. This can be made a day in advance.
Notes
- If your chocolate cake is already made up, feel free to add the Oreos into the trifle along with the chopped candies.
