Irish Creme Chocolate Trifle

I created this yummy chocolate trifle when I was given a bottle of Irish Cream liqueur as a gift and had leftover peppermint candy. I've served it with both liqueur and coffee creamer…and candy canes, too! It's always rich and decadent. —Margaret Wilson, Sun City, California16 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. + chilling
