A highlight of our annual family reunion is the dessert competition. The judges take their jobs very seriously! Last year's first-place winner was this tempting trifle.—Barb Hausey, Independence, Missouri

I made this for a Manager's meeting at work and everyone loved it. I came home with an empty trifle bowl. Thanks for the awesome recipe. ( :

My family loves this trifle, I have to make it every Mother's Day or Father's Day. Instead of making brownies I buy the Two Bite Brownies from the grocery store and i don't use dessert topping I use real whipped cream. Everybody always has seconds the bowl is always empty!

I served this for dessert tonight and everyone raved about it. I was finally able to use my trifle bowl that I bought 8 years ago! I used 8 oz. of the whipped topping, which was more than enough.

My granddaughter loves super rich chocolate desserts for her birthday. This was a huge hit this year and easy to serve from a bowl. It's a new family favorite!

Made this and took it to a family reunion and it disappeared in minutes. I got a few bites of it and it is easy to prepare and is a very tasty dessert. Will become a family reunion tradition to make this dessert.

The best chocolate trifle I've had. I suggested it for my cousins wedding, and they used it. I put the layer of carmel after the cake so it soaks into the cake a bit. You don't want the carmel as the top layer if you're transporting it, it makes a sticky mess.

This recipe, totally unchanged, is requested by people in my church for potlucks. Right now I am making one for a youth fundraiser! There is never any left. I have even caught older women in the church wiping out the bits left with their index fingers! This is definitely a top-knotch recipe!

I used toasted chopped pecans instead of the toffee bits. It was awesome! My family and friends loved it, and kept wanting more.
