Mini Peanut Butter and Chocolate Trifles #SundaySupper

{ Mini Peanut Butter and Chocolate Trifles }

Quick and easy, it’s starting to become the normal keywords when I’m looking for a recipe now. I think I’m overloaded. BigBear says that it’s because I don’t know how to say “NO”. It’s true. 🙁 If someone ask me to do something, 99% of the time I say yes, even if my schedule is already jammed pack. I have a problem telling people that I can’t help them. Here I am on a Saturday afternoon, and the only “me” time I’ve had all week, was this morning when I slept in an extra hour,… well I tried to sleep in. But not even that was relaxing me time, because the dogs were barking and needed something.

This dessert recipe is so quick and easy that I made a huge trifle like this for Easter Dinner’s dessert right after church and I made a few little ones the other night for after dinner and it didn’t take away time from anything else. They whip up in a flash.

Plus it involves a Big Bear Favorite 🙂 Peanut Butter.

These are pretty much a combination of the Peanut Butter Truffle Cheesecake I made for Big Bear’s birthday last year and the Strawberry, Banana, Chocolate Chip Trifle I made a while back.
