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, California

Made this for a birthday celebration at work and it was a HUGE hit. I followed the recipe as stated and used the Andes mints for the candy part.

My co-workers and I think just a slight drizzle of caramel between the layers would put this over the top!

Thanks for a great keeper! My boss has already requested that I make this for her birthday. :)

this was my first trifle recipe. I found the cake to be too wet, maybe a brownie would have more substance. But then not sure if I could still poke holes and add the creme. BTW I substituted the creamer for real baileys, the flavor was good, not too strong, just the cake was too wet. And it certainly should be eaten in one sitting because the next day it was all mush. I recommend individual servings instead of all in one bowl, that way you can ensure no leftovers.

My entire family loved this recipe, and my son enjoyed cooking this with me. I had to change a couple ingredients so they were reduced sugar. I think the next time I will alter the ingredients so that there is less fat as well. I especially liked the way the cake soaked up the Irish creme.

The brownies were very good in it but I thought they were too heavy. Next time I will follow the recipe and use cake.

I want to make this today, I'm wondering if I can use brownie mix instead of cake mix? Please advise? Thanks!

Very good and easy to make! My trifle bowl only allowed two layers not three, I used crushed skor chocolate bars in place of the mint and it tasted great! Everyone loved it!!!

I made this for a group last night, and only one person liked it, and my husband hated it, so I will not make it again

This was delicious! Even my son who said he didn't want it, gobbled it up. I used Bailey's Irish Cream liquid creamer and didn't add in the candies. Very yummy.

This dessert is wonderful. Light and not too sweet. Definitely will be making again and often. I cut the recipe in half and it still worked well.

WOW... This dessert is sooo yummy and a major HIT when I make it for guests! I use Baileys Irish Creme instead and Andes chocolate already broken up. I also have tried it with Milk Chocolate cake box and that was very good my husband said! If your looking for a different dessert to impress... THIS IS IT!!!

I made this 5 times over the holiday season. Everyone loves it! I used bailey's irish creme liquor, devils food pudding, extra creamy cool whip and andes baking bits. The flavor is fantastic! Love the ease of baking the cake and letting the bailey's soak in overnight.

AWESOME. I USED A GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX, BAILEYS IRISH CREME, WHIPPING CREAM, AND CRUSHED HEATH BARS INSTEAD OF THE ALTERNATE INGREDIENTS. FAB!

One of the simplest and most tasty recipes ever! My colleagues gobbled this up the minute it went on the table. Definitely a keeper!!!

I made this fantastic dessert just as a cake for my family and friends. I left the cake in the pan, poked the holes and filled it with the creamer, then topped it with the pudding and the whipped topping. It was so easy and left very little mess!

Made this for a sports dessert on St. Patrick's Day and it was a huge hit. Had trouble finding the spearmint candies on St. Paddy's Day though - go figure.

Great recipe! My family LOVE anything chocolate. Peppermint is more to my taste in this than spearmint. But otherwise followed the recipe as written. Yummy!

I made this for my Irish friend! I used Bailey's Irish Cream instead of creamer. I used chocolate cooked pudding instead of instant, and I used Andes Choc. instead of Candies. This dessret was divine!!

My mother-in-law and I made this as one of our Thanksgiving desserts. It was very good and we ate the whole thing but I wish we would have made it with Baileys instead of the creamer.
