  • Small Batter Bowl
  • Classic Batter Bowl
  • Trifle Bowl
  • Vegetable Peeler

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg brownie mix (18-21 oz) plus ingredients to make cake-like brownies
  • 2 bars milk chocolate candy divided, 1.55 ounces each
  • 3 cups cherry pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 2 cups cold 2% milk
  • 2 pkg white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling 3.3 oz each

  • Pour milk into a Classic Batter Bowl; add the pudding mix and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Fold in the whipped topping.
  • To assemble the trifle, place half of the brownie cubes into the bottom of a Trifle Bowl. Layer with half of the pie filling mixture. Sprinkle with half of the chopped chocolate; top with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layer one time.
  • Make chocolate curls with the reserved chocolate using a Vegetable Peeler. Garnish the top of the trifle with reserved pie filling mixture and chocolate curls. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
