Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz / 430 g) Plus ingredients called for on the box (eggs, oil, water)
For the Trifle
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz / 110 g)
  • 2 cups cold milk (480 ml)
  • 1 tub whipped topping, thawed (8 oz / 225 g) Such as Cool Whip
  • 1.5 cups crushed chocolate-covered toffee bars (about 5 oz / 140 g) Such as Heath or Skor
  • to taste shaved chocolate or extra toffee bits Optional for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions using eggs, oil, and water. Bake in a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) pan. Let it cool completely, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside to chill slightly.
Layering
  1. In a large trifle bowl or glass dish, layer half of the cake cubes, followed by half of the pudding, half of the whipped topping, and half of the crushed toffee bits.
  2. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
Chilling
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) before serving to let the flavors blend.
  2. Garnish with extra toffee bits or chocolate curls just before serving.

Notes

Wrap tightly and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best served fresh. For variations, try different cake flavors or toppings, and for a vegan option, use plant-based ingredients.
