MINI REESE’S CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE TRIFLES

These Mini Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Trifles are no bake and delicious! With layers of no bake peanut butter cheesecake, chocolate whipped cream and sauce, and Reese’s, it’s a peanut butter and chocolate lover’s dream!

This past weekend I spent some time with some girlfriends I’ve known and loved since elementary and high school. They are some of my best friends and we’ve seen each other through thick and thin. I feel like it’s rare to still have such a close group of friends from when we were so young, but I think at this point if one of us tried to “leave the group” it’d be nearly impossible. We just wouldn’t let it happen. 🙂

INGREDIENTS:

CHEESECAKE LAYERS
12 oz (339g) cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup (52g) sugar
1/4 cup (36g) brown sugar

Chocolate sauce

DIRECTIONS:

1. Beat cream cheese, sugar and brown sugar together in a bowl until smooth.
