What's Cookin' Wednesday: Candy Bar Trifle

 

Candy Bar Trifle

 

Ingredients:

1 box of cake mix (and ingredients to make it)

1 box of pudding mix (and ingredients to make it)

1 container of Cool Whip

any candy bar (crunchy works best - think Heath bar, Snickers, etc.  I let my husband pick and he chose Milky Way)

1 shot or so of Kahlua or Baileys (completely optional)

 

 

Bake your cake. Then cut it into cubes. You won't end up using all the cake, so you can make an additional trifle or just eat the cake with your hands like I do.

While your cake is cooling, make your pudding and stick it in the fridge to chill.

Cut up your candy bars. Again, crunchy is best. Hubby wanted Milky Way so he got Milky Way.

So you drop a bunch of cake at the bottom. Drizzle some Kahlua or Bailey's on top (if you want), throw some pudding on top of that, then top with cool whip. Drop a handful or so of your candy bits on top of that. Then do it all over. You can keep doing this 'til you run out of ingredients or space in your trifle dish. I could only do two layers of everything.

Make sure you've got candy bits to put on top so people know what's in your trifle!

 

Now I've done trifle with strawberry cake and strawberries (instead of candy), white or yellow cake with oreos.... There really is no wrong way to make a trifle. Think about combos you like and try to find a cake/pudding/accessory mix you can use!
