Ingredients
  • 1 (19.8-ounce) package fudge
Directions
  1. 1
    Prepare the fudge brownie mix according to package directions and spoon the batter into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. 2
    Bake the brownies according to package directions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. 3
    While the brownies are still warm, prick the top at 1-inch intervals using a fork and drizzle evenly with Kahlua (or a mixture of strong brewed coffee and sugar for a non-alcoholic version).
  4. 4
    Allow the brownies to cool completely, then crumble them into small, bite-sized pieces.
  5. 5
    Prepare the chocolate instant pudding mix according to package directions, but omit the chilling step; keep it ready for layering.
  6. 6
    In a large bowl, gently fold the thawed frozen whipped topping into the prepared chocolate pudding until fully combined.
  7. 7
    Crush the English Toffee candy bars into small pieces for texture.
  8. 8
    Place one-third of the crumbled brownies into the bottom of a 3-quart trifle dish or large glass bowl.
  9. 9
    Spread one-third of the chocolate pudding mixture over the brownie layer.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle one-third of the crushed toffee candy bars over the pudding.
  11. 11
    Repeat the layers twice more: brownies, pudding mixture, and crushed toffee, ending with a layer of toffee on top.
  12. 12
    Optionally, sprinkle additional crushed toffee or walnuts over the top for garnish.
  13. 13
    Cover the trifle dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and layers to set.
  14. 14
    Serve chilled, garnished with extra whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.
