How to Make Heaven in a Bowl
1. Bake the Brownies
Prepare the brownies according to the package directions using a 9×13-inch pan. Allow them to cool completely, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
2. Prepare the Pudding
In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside.
3. Create the First Layer
In a large trifle bowl or glass serving dish, add:
- Half of the brownie cubes
- Half of the chocolate pudding
- Half of the whipped topping
- Half of the crushed candy pieces
4. Repeat the Layers
Repeat the layers using the remaining brownies, pudding, whipped topping, and candy.
5. Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
6. Serve
Before serving, garnish with extra candy pieces, chocolate drizzle, or chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent finish.
