Chocolate Brownie Trifle Recipe

This is one of my hubby’s favorite desserts! I found it years ago on Allrecipes.com. It is really yummy and definitely a crowd pleaser. Even better? It’s so easy to make!
These are your ingredients. A box of brownie mix, a can of sweetened condensed milk, one small box of instant chocolate pudding, a lot of Cool Whip {20-oz}, and toffee chips.

Mix and bake the brownies according to the package instructions.
Let the brownies cool and cut them into one-inch pieces.
Mix the pudding, sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup water in a bowl until smooth.
Fold in the small container {8-oz} of whipped topping unti no streaks remain.

In a trifle bowl, layer half the brownies, pudding mixture and 6-oz of whipped topping.
Repeat the layers.

 Top with 1/2 cup chocolate toffee chips. Really you can use whatever you want. The original recipe calls for chocolate candybar shavings. I really like the addition of the toffee though. Chopped peanut butter cups would be great, so would chopped chocolate mint candies.
Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours. 

Enjoy!
This really is a great dish to take to holiday gatherings or parties. It can be made the day before and it travels really well.

  9. I have made this several times. The last couple of times for a St. Patricks pot luck and a Christmas party I dumped creme de mint in with the white whip to turn it green. Used Andes Mints on top. Soooo good.
