Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup chocolate pudding
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 1 hour.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions. Refrigerate the pudding to chill and set.
- Cut the cooled chocolate cake into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform bite-sized pieces that will layer nicely in the trifle dish.

- Spread a generous layer of chocolate pudding over the cake cubes, ensuring even coverage.
- Add a layer of whipped cream, carefully spreading it to cover the pudding layer.
- Sprinkle a portion of toffee bits over the whipped cream, creating a crunchy texture and additional flavor.
- Repeat the layering process: cake cubes, pudding, whipped cream, and toffee bits until you reach the top of the dish.
- For the final top layer, create a decorative finish by piping or spreading the remaining whipped cream.
- Garnish the top of the trifle with chocolate shavings and a final sprinkle of toffee bits.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and layers to set.
- When ready to serve, use a long spoon to ensure each serving captures all the delicious layers.
