Prepare the Ingredients:

1. Crush the Cookies: Place the Nutter Butter cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or food processor until you have coarse crumbs.
2. Prepare the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. Mix in Peanut Butter: Add the creamy peanut butter to the pudding and whisk until well combined and smooth.

Assemble the Trifle:

4. Layer One: In a large, clear glass trifle dish or individual serving glasses, create the first layer by spreading one-third of the crushed Nutter Butter cookies on the bottom.
5. Layer Two: Top the cookie layer with half of the peanut butter pudding mixture, spreading it evenly.
6. Layer Three: Add a layer of half of the whipped topping over the pudding, smoothing it out.
7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers with another one-third of the crushed cookies, the remaining peanut butter pudding, and the remaining whipped topping.
8. Final Layer: Top with the remaining crushed Nutter Butter cookies.

Garnish and Chill:

9. Garnish: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top, sprinkle with peanut butter chips, and garnish with chopped peanuts.
10. Chill: Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.

Serve:

11. Serve: Spoon the trifle into serving dishes, ensuring each serving includes all the layers.
