Just a little Friends humor :) The great thing about trifles is that they look fabulous but are not difficult at all. AND they give you a great reason to actually use the trifle bowl you registered for way back when! I think there are some fancier versions of trifles, but this one comes together very quickly, and come on, who doesn't love a chocolate-PB combo? Plus if you might have some children in the crowd, I'd dare to guess that most kids will eat this! Thank you Kraftfoods.com for sending this to my inbox!
I actually had to leave out a layer of Cool Whip in mine because I ran out, so I'm posting a recommended change for 2 tubs of Cool Whip instead of just one.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Trifle
1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) Jello-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) Jell-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
3 cups cold milk, divided
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tubs (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed, divided (we used sugar-free)
1 bag Chips Ahoy! Cookies, chopped (we just used the regular, but they make all kinds you could try--including some with PB cups or toffee hunks in them)
3 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
Empty pudding mixes into separate medium bowls. Add 1-1/2 cups milk to each; beat with whisk 2 min. Add peanut butter to vanilla pudding; beat until well blended. Stir 1/2 cup COOL WHIP into pudding in each bowl.
Spoon chocolate pudding mixture into trifle bowl; cover with layers of half each of the remaining Cool Whip and chopped cookies. Repeat layers, using vanilla pudding mixture.

Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Again, I didn't feel like I had enough Cool Whip left over in my one container to make two decent layers with it--so I'd recommend just eyeballing it and doing what you think is best. Even with just one layer of Cool Whip it was delicious!
I am excited to try this. I love Trifles. Especially for the holidays. In the meantime I use my trifle dish for a fruit bowl in my kitchen or sometimes as a centerpiece. Colorful fruit, glass balls, grain, rice, etc. All look beautiful in it!
