Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you're making the Peanut Butter Trifle for your show. It's always a crowd pleaser! In terms of timing, I would recommend making it the night before and letting it chill in the fridge overnight. This will allow all the flavors to meld together and make for a more delicious trifle. However, if you don't have enough time, you can also make it a few hours before the show and let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Either way, it will still be delicious! Hope this helps and good luck with your show!

Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a layer of whipped topping.

To enhance the visual appeal of your Peanut Butter Trifle, consider adding layers of crushed cookies or chocolate shavings between the layers, and top it with additional whipped topping, chocolate drizzle, or chopped peanuts for garnish. Using a clear trifle dish also showcases the beautiful layers.
