Thanks to one of our host families, he shared this recipe, and now I'm sharing it with you.
Looks good, doesn't it?
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that he did not use a trifle bowl. He used a cake stand and cover...
that is inverted and magically transformed into a trifle bowl, punch bowl, or whatnot...
Cool, huh?
First, bake a devil's food cake, or any favorite chocolate cake. Yes, you have my permission to use a box mix.
When the cake is cooled, break half of it into the bottom of the bowl. You may need to "smoosh" it a little to make room for the other ingredients.
Next, make some mousse. This is brand that the recipe suggested; however, any brand that uses 2 cups of milk will work. This is a milk chocolate flavor.
Dreamy, huh? Oh, I meant creamy....
Spread half the mousse on top of the crumbled cake...
then spread some store-bought whipped cream on top and sprinkle some crushed Heath or Skore bars on top....
The candy bars are frozen and then beaten with a rolling pin, mallet, hammer, or whatever you happen to have handy...
Repeat the process all over again: crumbled cake, chocolate mousse, whipped cream and crushed candy bar...
and take it somewhere to be shared!
