  • Total Time: 4 hours 65 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 2 (18-ounce) Ghirardelli Brownie Mixes plus the required ingredients (eggs, water, vegetable oil) as per package instructions

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 (3.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • ⅔ cup whole milk
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Toppings

  • 2 (8-ounce) containers frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 (8-ounce) bag Heath Milk Chocolate English Toffee Bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an inch or two of overhang on the short sides to create handles for easy removal. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Bake Brownies: Follow the package directions to prepare the brownie batter using the Ghirardelli mixes and the additional eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool completely before proceeding.
  3. Cut Brownies: Once cooled, carefully lift the brownies out using the foil handles and cut into 1-inch squares for layering.
  4. Make Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in 8 ounces of the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain, creating a creamy pudding layer.
  5. Assemble Trifle: In a trifle or large glass bowl, begin layering by placing half of the brownie squares evenly on the bottom. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the brownies, followed by about one-third of the toffee bits. Then add half of the remaining whipped topping on top. Repeat the layering with the remaining brownies and pudding mixture, finishing with the last third of toffee bits as a crunchy topping.
  6. Chill: Cover the trifle and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Depending on the size of your serving dish, you may have extra brownie squares, which are perfect for snacking!
  • Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before cutting to avoid crumbling.
  • For best texture, fold the whipped topping gently into the pudding mixture to keep it light and airy.
  • Feel free to substitute the Heath toffee bits with other crunchy toppings like chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
