Ingredients

1 package brownie mix for 8x8-inch pan
1 5.1-ounce package chocolate instant pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 16-ounce container whipped topping, divided
1 chocolate bar, optional for garnish

Instructions

Prepare brownies according to package directions (you can substitute brownies made from scratch). Cool completely.
Split the prepared brownies into thirds. Cut one third into little squares and set aside. Crumble the remaining two thirds
but keep separate for the layers.

Mix instant pudding according to package directions using only 2 cups milk. Carefully fold in half of the whipped
topping into prepared pudding. Layer a third of the crumbled brownie into the bottom of a trifle dish. Next, layer half of
the pudding mixture over the brownie. Then, layer half of the remaining cool whip over the pudding mixture.
Repeat the layers once more. Top the trifle with the little brownie squares.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel chocolate shavings over the top of the trifle. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Serves 15-20
