Oh WOW!!!! I made this tonight for dessert and we were all speechless. This is so good and easy, and it looks alot more complicated then it really is. I used three Heath candy bars as I couldn't find the toffee chips when I was at the store, but I think I needed more.....lol. I am planning on making this as one of my desserts this Christmas and WOW my family. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful sinful dessert.

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 desert00-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
