Snickers Trifle for the Super Bowl Party

People like Super Bowl Sunday for many reasons:  It could be just for the love of the game itself; or, maybe it’s all about betting on quirky things like how many times Peyton Manning will yell “Omaha.”  Perhaps they like it for watching the half-time entertainment, or possibly just to see the new TV commercials.  But, then there are those of us who love the day for the FOOD!

I’m contributing this Snickers Trifle for the Super Bowl party since about everyone loves chocolate.  The chocolate pudding layer in this trifle is whipped with sweetened condensed milk, and that sends it right over the edge into decadence! 

Add to it layers of caramel, another one of chocolate hot fudge sauce, some whipped cream topping, layers of chewy brownies and bits of chopped Snickers bars to top it off.

If you’re searching for a dessert that takes a minimum of time and effort, tastes heavenly, is luscious and gooey ~ a showstopper of a dessert, this is for you!

Snickers Trifle

Ingredients:

1 box of brownies
1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup water
2 (8 ounce) tubs Cool Whip
Caramel topping
Hot fudge topping*
12 mini Snickers bars, or more

Method:

Bake brownies according to package directions and let cool completely.
Cut into squares.
Meanwhile, prepare the pudding layer by mixing the instant pudding with the milk and water.
Blend on low speed until mixed and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Fold in 1 container of Cool Whip and refrigerate until ready to use.

To make trifle layers, layer half the brownie squares on the bottom of a trifle bowl, or any clear deep bowl.
Drizzle with half the caramel sauce.
Drizzle with half the hot fudge sauce.
Spoon half of the chocolate pudding mixture over the brownies.
Top with half of the other container of Cool Whip.
Chop 6 mini Snickers and sprinkle over Cool Whip.

Repeat layers with the remaining brownies, chocolate pudding mixture and Cool Whip.

Drizzle the top with remaining caramel and hot fudge toppings.
Chop remaining Snickers and sprinkle on top.
Garnish with one mini Snickers in the center of the trifle as garnish.

Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

*Heat hot fudge sauce in micro just slightly, just until spreadable, then cool a bit before drizzling.

It’s sinfully delicious!

Caramel Chocolate Trifle and the Game

The Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl, making Bill very happy!  He has always been a die-hard Packer fan even though he was raised here in northern Illinois.  

 

Bill asked me yesterday if I knew what the “G” stands for in the Packer logo.  I bet you are like me and assumed Green Bay.  It makes perfect sense, right?  Wrong!  The funny video below is New York Giant Tiki Barber quizzing the Green Bay Packer players.   I don’t feel so bad now that I know most of them don’t even know what it stands for.  They definitely know more about football and lived up to the "G" last night!  Here’s what the “G” stands for:

Our "hostess with the mostest" of the Super Bowl party we attended asked me to bring a dessert.  I knew Carla really meant a CHOCOLATE dessert.  From above, this trifle looks like chopped bits of candy but, a look at the side view shows all of its delicious layers!

 

This trifle is stacked with devil’s food cake chunks, chocolate pudding, a whipped topping and caramel ice cream topping with plenty of English toffee bits scattered on top.  It’s multiple layers of color, textures and flavors.  One of the great things about it is that you can make it ahead of time to allow it to soak up the flavors. 

Believe me ~ there will not be a crumb left when you serve this sinfully rich trifle!

Ingredients:

1 package (9-ounces) devil’s food cake mix (I used Jiffy)

1 jar (12¼-ounces) caramel ice cream topping

Place half of the cubes in a 3-quart trifle bowl or large glass serving bowl.

Lightly press cake down to fill in gaps.
