Ingredients

For The Milk Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup milk

For The Peanut Butter Mousse

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 brownies roughly chopped
  • 2 Butterfinger candy bars chopped

Instructions

To Make The Ganache

  • Add the chocolate chips and milk to a double boiler. Stir with a wire whisk until the chocolate has melted, and the two have evenly combined into a ganache (leaving no traces of milk behind) and it becomes thick and deep chocolate in color. Remove the top pot from heat and let the ganache cool about 15 minutes.

To Make The Mousse

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the whipping cream, peanut butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk/mix on high until everything’s evenly incorporated and the whipping cream has thickened into a mousse-like texture.

To Assemble The Trifles

  • Pour the ganache into a sturdy sandwich bag. Cut a very tiny corner for pouring. The smallest corner possible will allow for more control.
  • Spoon in the peanut butter mousse. Fill about ¼ inch to ½ inch.
  • Pour the ganache in to add a thin layer.
  • Repeat the steps. And then top with a generous handful of Butterfinger crumbs.
  • Grab spoons, dig in, and enjoy!
