About a dozen years ago I found a recipe that I really wanted to try out. I didn't have the right bowl in which to prepare it, so I drove to Service Merchandise on my lunch hour and bought a trifle dish. I've made it several times over the years, and I've gotta say, with a bit of sadness, that I've never come home with leftovers.
1 package (18.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
1 package (6 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 cup strong coffee
1 (8 oz) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
6 Heath bars (1.4 oz each), crushed
Bake cake according to package directions. Cool. Prepare pudding according to package directions; set aside (I recommend you use half & half or whole milk to make it richer.) Crumble up the cake; reserve 1/3 cup. Place half of the remaining cake crumbs in the bottom of a 5 qt trifle dish or decorative glass bowl (if using a smaller dish, use smaller portions for each layer). Layer with half of the coffee, half of the pudding, half of the whipped topping, and half of the crushed candy bars. Repeat layers of cake, coffee, pudding and whipped topping. Combine remaining crushed candy bars with reserved cake crumbs; sprinkle over the top. Refrigerate 4-5 hours before serving. Serves 10-12.
