Mocha Toffee Trifle

I have been meaning to post this recipe for a long time now.  I make this recipe all the time. The kids like to eat the brownies plain but I haven't met an adult that doesn't love the combination of chocalate, coffee and toffee!

You can layer this in a large trifle bowl or in several small ones like I did here for individual servings.

Chocolate Mocha Trifle

1 Brownie Mix (made according to cake-like directions) or you can purchase the store bought round, pre-made brownies to save time

1 3/4 cup white milk

2 - 3.3 ounce packages of instant white chocolate pudding and pie filling

1 - 12 ounce container Cool Whip (8 oz container will be enough, but if you want to decorate the top of the trifle you will want the additioanl cool whip)

3 Heath candy bars (or the package of Heath toffee bits)

2 tsp instant coffee

Bake brownie and let cool. 

Cut or break into small squares.

Add coffee to warm water, stir to dissolve coffee and let stand.

Whisk together milk and pudding, add coffee and fold together.

Begin folding in Cool Whip.  Mixture should be a light mocha color and somewhat thick.

Chop Heath bars.

Layer trifle-brownie, mocha, Heath until indgredients are gone.

If you used the 12 oz of Cool Whip you can add it to the top with a tiny bit of Heath to decorate.

*This recipe if from the Pampered Chef, I am not sure if it is in any of their books, I had it at a party a few years ago and have been making it ever since.
