3. Spread the pudding. Spread half of the chocolate pudding over the brownies in an even layer.
4. Add the whipped cream. Add half of the whipped cream, then sprinkle half of the chopped Snickers on top.
5. Drizzle sauces. Drizzle half of the peanut butter and caramel sauce over the layer for extra sweetness.
6. Repeat layers. Repeat the layers with the remaining brownies, pudding, whipped cream, Snickers, peanut butter, and caramel.
7. Refrigerate. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
