Equipment

  • trifle bowl or small punch bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 package brownie mix I like Betty Crocker Original Supreme
  • 2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix

  • In a glass trifle bowl or small punch bowl, layer in the following order: 1/2 of the brownie, crumbled; 1/2 of the pudding; toffee bits (use as much as you'd like); 1/2 of the whipped topping. Repeat layers in the same order. Save some toffee bits to sprinkle on top before serving.

  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve, at least 2 hours. Best if made the day before you serve it, so everything can blend together and it has time to get nice and cold.
