Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

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!

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 14-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package devil's food cake mix (you will probably only be able to fit about 2/3 of the cake in your truffle bowl)
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs
1 cup chocolate syrup (you can substitute coffee liqueur for the chocolate syrup if you want)
2 (4 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
8 ounces back of heath toffee pieces (also called baking bits)
1 (24 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed

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.

Conclusion:

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. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy layers, and decadent toppings, this trifle is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this Death by Chocolate Trifle a try!
