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

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.

I took this to a church dinner group and everyone loved it. I didn't modify the recipe at all. I would make this again!

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.
