Tagalong Trifle Dessert Recipe

While I am not a huge fan of peanut butter, my husband loves it. Maybe its the fact that I have a mild peanut allergy, but that it doens’t really stop me from making some yummy treats for him. With it being Girl Scout cookie season, I have been trying to figure out fun ways to get our cookies lasting just a little bit longer. As some of you know, that sometimes a bit impossible with these yummy cookies. Luckily, one of my friends came up with the perfect dessert that doesn’t just use Tagalongs but similar cookies.

What shocked me more was that this recipe was super easy to make and had the approval of everyone in my household. If you are looking for a yummy dessert that doesn’t end with you eating an entire box of these cookies. Make sure to tell what you think of this yummy Tagalong Trifle Dessert below!

Note: Special thanks to my friends Krista from Adventures of Country Divas for helping me with this recipe and pictures!
