Wonderful! And so easy! This will definitely become a regular around my house! I didnt add the coffee and I had a little bit of brownie left so I crumpled it on top!

I have made a version of this for years, it is my must have dessert for xmas, my family would not forgive me if I didn't bring it. Instead of brownie pieces I use devils food cake cut up in small squares. Also, for the pudding, I use 8 oz instant pudding, with 3 1/2 cups of milk with 1/2 cup of Kahlua. It is the best thing ever! I used to add the toffee pieces, but have left them out for years, and actually like it better without. I also use Cool Whip, the big container, and generously use as much of it as I need.

Believe me this does not taste like mix brownies and instant pudding! It tastes like it took much more effort to prepare than it did. Instead of a bowl, I prepared these as individual parfaits for our New Years eve dinner - what a fun & tasty treat, and looks impressive! I left out the coffee because we had a coffee-hater in the bunch. I did try to make the pudding with soy milk but it refused to set up. After 2 tries I resorted to dairy milk. Who knew? The other thing I did differently was just for the littler kids who didn't like toffee. I substituted mini m&m's. They were colorful & cute and the kids went wild for them. Great recipe.

O.M.G. Mirj, Thank you. This was so easy to make and absolutely YUMMY. I have never made a Trifle and decided to do this for Christmas dessert. Am I glad I did. Just to clear things up for others though, I will add that you make the brownie mix with the ingredients that you list in your recipe (not as stated on the box) but with the box directions. Also, use a small box of instant chocolate pudding (3.625 oz.). That is the size for 2 cups of milk. I bought the large box by mistake first. I could have used it but wanted to follow your recipe. For English toffee bits I was able to buy an 8 oz. bag of Heath Bits of Brickle Toffee Bits and must say I used the whole bag (what's an extra 2 oz.'s when it comes to toffee bits!). I also used French Vanilla Cool Whip as recommeded by BJTaillights. I can't wait to try this with some of the other suggestions I read in the reviews such as Pianolady's-strawberries or Chef #181926-carmel sundae syrup. Oh my mouth is just watering thinking of these combinations. This is so easy to make and yet so decadent to present and appears to be much more labor intensive than it is. Thank you for a keeper to impress guests in my home!! Tweeky
