Death by Chocolate

Death by Chocolate is very yummy and successfully satisfies any chocolate cravings you may be having. It is a trifle (layered dessert) so if you have a pretty glass bowl to put it in it will look as great as it tastes. It is also a great dessert for kids to help make because it is so simple, they'll love how it tastes too. You can also add fruit like cherries or strawberries if you would like but I usually just stick to the original.


INGREDIENTS:

1 box brownie mix (whichever one you like best, I like the Duncan Hines fudge brownie)

1 large box of instant chocolate pudding (none of that sugar free stuff, at least not for me)

1 large tub of cool whip

1 large Hershey's Symphony candy bar with toffee

The ingredients the brownie mix and the pudding mix requires


PROCEDURE:
1.  Make the brownies as the box instructs, cooking for 5-10 minutes less than it says. Let cool completely. (I put the pan in the freezer to help this along faster)
2. Make the pudding as it instructs. Allow to set for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Break the candy bar in small pieces by placing in large zip lock bag and crushing or putting in food processor.
4. In one large bowl, preferably glass, make a layer of half of the cooked brownies, smush them down to cover the entire bottom of the bowl. Then make another layer with half of the pudding, then a layer with half the cool whip, and sprinkle half the candy bar on top. Repeat all of step 4 with the remaining ingredients. (If you are adding fruit, do this when you add/or in place of the candy bar)
5. This can be served immediately but it tastes better if it sits for a few hours.

Time: About an 1 hour

Servings: 6-8
