1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonaise
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chili peppers

1 whole Pan Prepared Brownies (8 Inch By 8 Inch Or Larger)
2 packages Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix (Approx 3.5 Oz Each Pkg)
4 cups Cold Milk (for Pudding Mix)
1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3 whole Snickers Bars (2 oz each)
1 jar Caramel Sauce (8 oz or larger)

Cut your prepared brownies into about 1 inch chunks (I used about 3/4 of an 8 x 8 inch pan) and set aside.
Prepare pudding as directed (combining the powdered mix with the amount of milk specified on the package), and set aside.
Beat heavy cream, sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, then set aside.
Chop Snickers bars into small pieces, and set aside.
Assemble dessert: Crumble brownies into bottom of trifle bowl to cover surface.
Drizzle a few spoonfuls of caramel sauce over the brownie pieces.
Spread half of the prepared pudding over brownies and caramel.
Spread half of the whipped cream over top of pudding layer.
Sprinkle with half of the chopped Snickers.
Repeat layering, finishing off with the remaining Snickers chunks.
Cover and chill for a few hours before serving.

We had so much fun!  We enjoyed each other's company, had great food AND even had a Blackjack tournament!  Looking forward to our next get-together at Don and Diane's in June!
