Preparation

Step 1

Cupcakes
Prepare according to package directions by
Combining all ingredients in mixer bowl & beat on low 30 seconds & on high 2 full minutes
Transfer to cupcake tins lined with wrappers
Bake to instructions on box - allow to cool completely before making parfait
Prepare whip while cupcakes are cooling
Whip
Beat softened cream cheese in mixer bowl until light & fluffy
Add peanut butter & beat until combined
Slowly add in confectioners sugar & beat
Once incorporated - fold in whipped topping & then beat for about 30 seconds
Assemble
Unwrap cupcakes & pull apart into bite sized pieces & place in bottom of the glass (I added one whole cupcake in each)
Transfer your whip into a piping bag (for better control) & squeeze a layer around on top of the crumbled cupcake pieces
Top with more crumbled cupcake pieces (about 1/2 a cupcake)
Add a little dollop of peanut butter whip on top
Sprinkle with chocolate jimmies
