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!

The cups I used are 9 oz cups, so you could probably share one – if you’re a lightweight. 😉 You could also make them smaller with one of each layer if you want. OR you could woman-up (or man-up) and go for the whole thing! Either way you go, you should definitely give them a try. They are too easy to not make and devour them as quickly as possible.
