Description

A spectacular layered trifle built in a large bowl — from-scratch brownies on the bottom, layered with fresh raspberries or strawberries, a vanilla pudding and Cool Whip cream, and topped with chopped toffee candy bars and nuts. Then repeated. Serves 24 and draws a crowd around the bowl every time.

Ingredients
    Brownie Layer
  • 4 squares Unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 3/4 Cups Butter
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract

  • 1 package Vanilla pudding mix (4-serving size)
  • 1 tub Cool Whip (8 oz.)
    • Top Layer
  • 2 pts. Raspberries or strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 6 Toffee candy bars, chopped
  • 3/4 Cups Nuts, chopped
Instructions
  1. 1
