3 8oz cartons frozen whipped topping, thawed
Directions
1. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Stir in peanut butter chips. Bake in a greased 13x9 pan at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (be careful not to overbake). Cool on a wire rack and cut into 3/4 inch pieces.

2. Cut peanut butter cups in half ans set aside 1/3c for garnish. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes, or until soft set. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well. Fold in 1.5 cartons whipped topping.
