Easy Elegant Dessert: A Brownie Trifle

My sons learned how to make this dessert in a home school co-op.
Last month, my blonde son won a contest we held – making the neatest mural displaying the Africa Grasslands. His prize: The dessert of his choice. He chose…

The Brownie Trifle

Ingredients:

1 pan of prepared brownies (I used the Baker’s Orange Box Recipe)
1 (3.5) package of instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups of milk
1 (8 oz) package of toffee bits
1 tub of whipped topping (Larger container)

Easy directions are at bottom!

Make brownies.

Cool. Cut into squares.

{Or just crumble the hot ones into your trifle dish because you are in a big hurry!}

Don’t forget the princess who is sticking her tongue out as she cuts brownies. INTENSE work!

I cheat and buy the tub. My mom is cringing at the moment…she has always made her own whipped topping with real cream. (Mom- it is okay….cool whip is our friend.)

I love pudding but next time I will try mousse.
I really LOVE mousse.

My hubby loves these! I believe 1/4th of the bag had been snacked on before we made the recipe.

The finished product!

I got to say…it looks prettier the day after and is easier to cut. We wanted it then so it didn’t have a chance to set up. Word to the wise: Make a day earlier!

Easy Recipe:

Make brownies. Cool. Cut into squares.
Make pudding using the milk while brownies are cooling. Don’t refrigerate.
Layer half of the following in this order: brownies, pudding, toffee bits, then cool whip.
Then repeat.
Cool in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Simple! Supposed to serve 16 – 18 people. I believe that! It is a huge dessert!
