Ultimate Brownie Toffee Trifle

Happy Valentine’s Day, sweets! You didn’t think I’d let this day go by without sharing an epic dessert, did you? No matter what your thoughts on this day may be, I think we can all agree chocolate is ALWAYS a good idea, especially when we’re talking about this showstopping Brownie Toffee Trifle!

I absolutely love trifles and I think they have party and entertaining written all over them. Add chocolate to the mix and I’m just about ready to throw myself in the bowl! I’m partnering with my friends at Farberware today and taking the classic brownie trifle we all grew up with and giving it a major upgrade. It’s time to trade in the boxed mixes and toss that whipped topping for the real deal! Get the spoons ready!

One of the things I love most about this dessert (aside from the whole chocolate thing!) is how adaptable it is. Looking to make an easy batch of brownies in a pinch? This recipe will become a staple! In the mood for homemade chocolate pudding? Go for it! Making the trifle for a party and realize you forgot the heath bars – trade them for peanut butter cups, Oreos, or fresh raspberries! The options are endless!

The first thing I’m going to let you in on is one of my little tricks that always keeps me ahead of the game and looking like a star when I have a last minute get-together to host or attend.

I always make 2 batches of brownies.

The first could be for the trifle that I’m whipping up later today, maybe I just wanted to make a batch for girls’ night, or maybe I just felt like a great brownie. The second batch gets wrapped and frozen so I’m ready to assemble a trifle on the fly, or make brownies appear out of thin air!

Once your brownies are prepared, it’s time to make the luscious chocolate pudding. It’s a simple recipe you make on the stovetop and the hardest part about the entire situation is not polishing it off with a spoon immediately! Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Once you’re ready to assemble the trifle, it’s time to make the homemade whipped cream. I really don’t think anything trumps the taste of homemade whipped cream, and it really is the perfect little cloud of vanilla fluff in between all those layers of decadent chocolate. The toffee candy adds the perfect crunch to each bite and I just love the flavor. I used the broken up heath bar pieces you can find in the baking aisle, and all I can tell you is those things are dangerous to have in the house. Who knew those little bites of candy could wreak havoc on you just sitting in the pantry!! I put them on everything!
