Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients on box; a 9x13 pan mix)
- 6.6 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1 large container Cool Whip
- chocolate candy (chopped (leftover Halloween candy))
Instructions
- Make the Brownies: Make the brownies as directed on the box. Let them cool completely, then cut into bite-size cubes and set aside.
- Make the Pudding: Whisk the instant pudding mix with the milk until it thickens. Fold in the Cool Whip and mix well until smooth.
- Layer: Spread 1/3 of the brownie cubes into the bottom of the trifle dish, top with 1/3 of the pudding mixture, then 1/3 of the chopped candy. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with candy on top.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Use fudgy brownies, which hold up better in the layers than cakey ones. Lean into a variety of candy (chocolate, caramel, peanut, and something crunchy) for the most interesting bites. The trifle can be assembled the morning of, but add the candy close to serving since some bars soften overnight. Keeps covered in the fridge for a couple of days, though it is best the first day.
