Chocolate Trifle Cake

Big Taste, Impressive Display

If you need to bring a dessert for many, this is a great one. I have never seen anyone say,' no, thanks!' My Mom and Bill first served this to Craig and I a few years ago and we were known to sneak down for extra spoonfuls late-night. YUM. The key to this dessert is a beautiful, large, clear bowl. With the clear glass, you can see the layers. This looks more impressive than it is complicated.

Chocolate Trifle Cake

• 1 box chocolate cake (if you're motivated, make from scratch)
• 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding
• 2 containers of Cool Whip (of course homemade whipping cream is even more fabulous, but richer too)
• 1 1/2 C crunched up heath bar
• 1/4 C Kahlua
• Raspberries and Mint for garnish
• Large, clear trifle bowl
  

Directions:

Bake chocolate cake in 8 1/2x 11 pan. Cool. Make chocolate pudding, but do not refrigerate. Take your large bowl and begin placing the layers in the bowl: (follow the below order)

1. Chocolate cake
2. 1/3 of the Kahlua
3. layer of pudding
4. layer of Cool Whip
5. layer of crunched up Heath Bar
6. Repeat layers until bowl is full!
7. Finish with Cool Whip on top and decorate with raspberries and mint leaves.

When the bowl is full, your dessert is complete and ready to serve or refrigerate.
Wow your friends and family with this massive, incredibly fabulous dessert.

Queen's Note: Don't freak out if you have extra cake, pudding or cool whip, the quantities will vary based upon the size of your bowl.
