Recipe: Brownie Trifle.

BROWNIE TRIFLE RECIPE- the ultimate sweet extravaganza.

1 (19.8 ounce) package fudge brownie mix
1/4 cup praline or coffee-flavored liqueur (I use Kahlua)
2 packages Nestle's instant chocolate mousse mix (milk chocolate)
8 (1.4 ounce) toffee-flavored candy bars, crushed (I use Heath Bars)
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping , thawed
Garnish: chocolate curls or sprinkles

Prepare brownie mix and bake according to package directions in a
13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Prick top of warm brownies at 1-inch intervals using a meat fork, and brush with liqueur. Let cool, and crumble.

Prepare chocolate mousse according to package directions, omitting chilling.

Place half of crumbled brownies in bottom of a 3-quart trifle dish. Top with half of each: mousse, crushed candy bars, and whipped topping. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with whipped topping. Garnish with chocolate curls or sprinkles. Chill 8 hours. Yield: 16 to 18 servings.

Note: I divide the 8 bars of candy in 2 qt. freezer bags, then crush with my meat tenderizer mallet - that way they are correctly divided. Also, I layer in a 3 qt. footed trifle dish that makes an impressive dessert.
