Chocolate Trifle (from Sharon Amery)

 

(Note: This recipe is very large: it makes 5 qts., most trifle bowls are 3qt. in size.)

 

3 boxes instant Chocolate Mousse (Dr. Oetker, 4.2 oz. box, found at Randall’s)

3 tubs Cool Whip (8 oz.)

1 chocolate cake mix, recommend the double chocolate

½ c. Kaluha (or Bailey’s Irish Crème)

4-6 “Skor” or “Heath” candy bars

 

Make the cake in a “9 x 13” pan. Let cool. Poke holes in top and pour on the Kaluha.

Make the mousse, 1 box at a time (for consistency sake and/or if making in a smaller size trifle bowl. For the 3qt. size: only 2 boxes of mousse, 2 Cool Whip, and 2 cake layers were used.

 

Layer in Trifle bowl: 1 st layer: cake, crumbled up

2 nd layer: mousse

3 rd layer: Cool Whip

4 th layer: Skor or Heath candy bars crumbled

 

(On last Cool Whip layer: make large peaks with the back of a spoon, to make the trifle look festive.) Enjoy!
