1 box betty crocker turtle brownie mix, prepared as directed.
8 oz container lite cool whip
5 oz package cook and serve chocolate pudding, prepared as directed.
2 Tbsp caramel syrup for drizzling
2 Tbsp mini choclate chips
1 Tbsp chopped walnuts

4. Drizzle the caramel syrup on top, then sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped nuts on top. Refrigerate to set.

Tips:

Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your trifle will be.
Don't overbeat the whipped cream: Overbeaten whipped cream will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your trifle will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher).
Chill the trifle before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
Garnish with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, and fresh berries.
