Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 5 minutes. Use fork to poke cake all over.
- Drizzle liqueur over cake. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 12 hours.
- Meanwhile, make chocolate mousse as directed on box. Cover and refrigerate until cake is ready.
- To assemble, crumble one-fourth to one-third of cake into bottom of very large trifle or punch bowl. I like to use a punch bowl, which is typically much bigger than your typical trifle bowl.
- Add a layer each of chocolate mousse, whipped cream and crushed candy. Repeat until you have 3 to 4 layers. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE TRIFLE
This I have made many ways. If you don't like coffee and want a sweet dessert kids will LOVE, use sweetened condensed milk to pour over the cake (about 2/3 of the can) and refrigerate until completely cool. If you want a party dessert adults will love, use Kaluha, about 1/2 cup. Cool whip makes a great sub for whipped cream (might even be better!) but I am trying to use less "fake" foods so I choose to do real. the cool whip holds up better if this will be around for days though! Chocolate mousse is my favorite here, but lots of people have a hard time finding it, i know only a few stores around me carry it so I am listing it with pudding, but if you can find mousse, USE IT!

Steps:
- Bake cake in 9x13 inch pan according to the manufacturers instructions. (In the ingredients list I put as per my Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devil's Food cake mix instructions --1 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup of oil, and 3 eggs. Recipe Zaar would not allow the recipe to be published without putting those measurements in the ingredients list. Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines mixes might be different. Just follow the back of your box, whichever brand you use!).
- While the cake is baking, prepare the instant pudding according to instructions on box, set aside to chill.
- When the cake comes out of the oven, pour the chocolate syrup over the top of the entire cake.
- Using a fork, crumble the cake into small pieces.
- In a large clear bowl (or truffle bowl), put a layer of cake on the bottom, then cover with a layer of pudding.
- Then spread a layer of whipped topping, then sprinkle some of the crushed candy bars.
- Repeat the layers to the top of the bowl, ending with toffee bar pieces on top.
- Refrigerate until serving time.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- To make the trifle ahead of time, assemble it up to 24 hours before serving. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can use a large glass bowl or even a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- If you're short on time, you can buy a pre-made chocolate cake or brownies to use for the layers.
- Feel free to get creative with the toppings! You can add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or even fresh berries.

This Death by Chocolate Trifle is the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit at parties and gatherings.
