Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Trifle Glass
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • whisk
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

  • 1 (18.4 ounce) box chocolate brownie mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 Tablespoons milk

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 4 cups whole milk cold
  • 2 (3.9 ounces) boxes of Instant chocolate pudding

Assembly Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) bag of Health Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip
  • chocolate sauce
  • chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Start by making the brownies. Whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk and brownie mix. Once smooth, pour into the prepared 9x13 baking pan and spread the batter evenly across the pan.

  • Bake the brownie for 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out cleanly and the brownies will no longer look shiny. Let cool in the pan.
  • While the brownies bake, make the chocolate pudding. Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl. The mix will start to thicken as you stir. Store the pudding in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the dessert.

  • Grab a large punch bowl or trifle glass. Crumble half of the baked brownies into the bottom of the glass, leaving some large pieces and some pure crumbs.
  • Add ½ of the pudding into the glass and spread it across the brownies.
  • Sprinkle the pudding with about ½ cup of the Heath bar bits.
    1 (8 ounce) bag of Health Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits
  • Spread half of the Cool Whip over the toffee pieces.
    16 ounces Cool Whip
  • Repeat steps 5 through 8, layering the brownies, pudding, toffee and cool whip to fill the glass. End with a layer of Cool Whip.
  • Chill the trifle until you are ready to serve. Then, top with extra chocolate chips, toffee pieces and a chocolate sauce drizzle.

Notes

  • If you do not have a trifle glass, you can assemble this Death by Chocolate dessert in a 9x13 baking dish. Follow the layering directions but only make one layer of each ingredient. Since the pan is much wider, only one layer is possible. Then scoop the dessert out when you are ready to serve!
  • Add caramel sauce, peanut butter drizzle or butterscotch to the top for even more flavor.
