Marilyn, aka Jared’s mother and my mother-in-law, is am amazing cook. Some of my favorite of her repertoire include: delectable homemade cinnamon rolls (they put butter on them. On TOP of the frosting. Weird.) Creamy delicious Peas and potatoes, and cheesy goodness cauliflower. YUM. But really, anything she makes is wonderful. So here is a recipe I have yet to try of hers, but I know it will be good. And it looks easy, too.

“Trifle” is from the Middle English word “Trufle” which comes from the Old French word “Trafe” or “Trafle”, all meaning something of importance. Enough of the ifle’s, afle’s and ufle’s, we only care if it is chocolaty and delicious! Here is the recipe for the delicious Candy Bar Trifle:

What you will need:

1 pound cake (cut into cubes)

Heath Bar chips

Chopped Snickers bars

2 boxes chocolate fudge pudding mix (instant)

4 cups milk

Whipped Cream

A Trifle Bowl (pictured below- you can purchase one at Walmart for about $10)

Prepare Instant pudding as directed.

Put a layer of cake cubes in the bottom of the trifle dish.

Sprinkle about 1/2 of the Heath chips over the cake cubes, then cover with half of the pudding. Next, add a layer of Whipped cream, then some chopped Snickers bars.

Then layer again with the cake cubes, Heath bar chips, chocolate pudding and whipped cream. Top with Snickers bar pieces and refrigerate. Enjoy!

(If you want a healthier version, try using berries and fresh fruits instead of the pudding and candies!)
