This trifle is the perfect make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before my party and it was even better the next day.

My trifle didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I think I overcooked the toffee sauce.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate and toffee, but this trifle was surprisingly good. The flavors complemented each other perfectly.

This trifle was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
