Equipment

  • 1 Glass trifle dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 20-ounce package basic brownie mix Your egg, oil and water ingredients may vary depending upon the brownie mix you use. Just prepare according to package instructions.
  • 2 eggs
  • cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 4-serving packages instant chocolate pudding
  • 4 cups cold milk
  • 8 1.4-ounce chocolate-covered toffee candy bars (like Heath), coarsely crushed (If you can’t find the 12-ounce size, you can use 1 and 1/2 containers of the 8-ounce size.)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven and bake brownie batter in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan according to package directions.
  • While brownies are baking, make the pudding according to package directions and refrigerate to set.
  • When the brownies are done, keep them in the pan and allow the pan to cool completely.
  • Break up brownies into small pieces; place half in bottom of large glass trifle dish or serving bowl. 
  • Cover with half of the pudding, then one-third of the crushed candy and half of the whipped topping.
  • To crush the candy, keep the bars in their wrappers, place on a cutting board and pound with a rolling pin.
  • After crushing, when you open each candy wrapper, you can easily sprinkle the little candy pieces wherever they need to go.
  • Repeat layers. Top with remaining crushed candy. 
  • Cover and chill for at least two hours before serving.
