Here's what you'll need to make your own:
-Trifle Bowl
-Box of brownie mix (and whatever the recipe calls for)
-1 container of chocolate or devil's food Jell-O pudding (and enough milk to make it)
-Large container of Cool Whip
-Chocolate Syrup
-Caramel Syrup (optional)
-Peanut Butter drizzle (optional)
-1 candy bar (optional)
Directions:
1. Make the chocolate pudding and brownies according to the package directions. Place pudding in fridge to cool and set brownies aside to cool.
2. To begin the trifle, cut some cooled brownie squares and place a layer in the bottom of your trifle bowl.
3. Add a layer of Cool Whip. Smooth down.
4. (Optional) Add some drizzle of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel.
5. Add a layer of pudding on top of the cool Whip.
6. Put another layer of brownies in and repeat the process.
You want the last layer to be Cool Whip. I usually add some more drizzle to the very top and the chop up some candy bar slices as "garnish."
Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold!
This is such a tasty, easy dessert, and it's a real crowd pleaser! It's so rich that I seldom make it more than once a year, but everyone loves it.

Uh hello yumalicious dessert! I can see why it's a favorite!
ReplyDeleteRight now my family always ask me to make Paula Dean's banana pudding. It's crazy good. But their request changes up. I more of a pumpkin bread type gal. I make it every year but it's really just for me as everyone else goes for all the pies and other yummy treats.
