The day I made this trifle, I had my little fashionista as a helper 🙂

I made dark chocolate brownies from scratch for this recipe, so I didn’t need a brownie mix, but mixes are great in this recipe, too! The addition of the crunchy Heath English Toffee bits for a topping was a great alternative to a chocolate bar.

What really makes this recipe special and eye-catching is displaying it in a trifle bowl. If you need a Trifle Bowl, this is the one I have. It’s inexpensive and has held up well through the years.

If you’re a trifle fan, here are several more Trifle Recipes you have to try! Fruity, creamy and chocolatey, they’re all here. The Berry Trifle is ahhhmazing!

My all-time favorite is the No Bake Caramel Apple Cheesecake Trifle.
