It Takes Two to Trifle


This Sunday was our neighborhood Halloween party and I had planned FAR in advance to make something special. I was trying decide on what dessert to make and then it hit me. I would make a trifle; who doesn't love a dessert that incorporates cake, pudding, whip cream, and crushed cookies?! But I knew one trifle wouldn't be enough for all the people who come to the party so I figured two would be good. I knew I had to make something fall themed, I mean, it was a Halloween party for goodness sakes! I searched online and found a pretty good pumpkin bundt cake recipe. Then I planned to add vanilla pudding, cinnamon whipped cream, and crushed gingersnaps to create the beautiful Fall Harvest Trifle (trademark pending). Then I wanted something chocolate which, as you know, is not surprising at all. So I went with a rich dark chocolate brownie, white chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and crushed oreos which I named the Killer Chocolate Trifle (trademark also pending).
