Death by Chocolate (Trifle)
This chocolate trifle is easy and delicious. A real crowd pleaser that is great for a pot luck or family dinner. Layers of chocolate cake, whipped cream and chocolate pudding with skor chocolate bar pieces for a little sweet crunch.
Equipment
- 1 clear glass bowl or trifle bowl
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or brownies) baked to package directions
- 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding mix (113g each) made to package directions
- 2 large containers of cool whip (or whipped cream) Thawed
- 3-4 skor bars, crushed *chocolate wafer cookies can also be used if you prefer
Instructions
- Prepare the boxed cake (or brownie) mix according to package directions and let cool completely. (if you prefer a small 10x13" baking sheet can be used)
- Prepare the chocolate pudding according to the package directions and chill until you are ready to assemble.
- Crush the skor bars or cookies (I find using a rolling pin and leaving the bars inside the wrappers is the best method)
- Thaw the cool whip in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble. Or make fresh whipped cream
- Once ready to assemble, cut the chocolate cake into 1" cubes then line the bottom of a 6L (4-5 quart) trifle (or large ) bowl. Top with half of the chocolate pudding then 3/4 -1 container of cool whip, then half of the skor bits. Repeat all of the layers in the same order, ending with the skor bits as a topping.
- Serve right away, or cover and chill until you are ready to serve.
- This may be chilled up to 24 hours before serving.
