Death By Chocolate


As a kid, this was the dessert I always looked for at the Church potlucks.
Now that I've finally found the perfect trifle bowl I decided to make it.


The Recipe

2 Devil's food cake mixes, baked & cooled
3 instant chocolate pudding mixes(+6 cups milk)
3 tubs cool whip(NOT whipped cream)
2 pkgs skor minis, chopped (or about 10 bars)

Layer the ingredients in your trifle bowl (cake, pudding, cool whip, skor bits). 
The pudding thickens pretty quickly, so it is best to mix each package 
just before you need it so that it is still pourable. 
This may very well be the only recipe where whipped cream is NOT better than cool whip. 
This is overall a very light, fluffy dessert, but if you use whipped cream it will be very heavy.
To make it cheaper you can only use skor on the top, but it does change the end product significantly. 

WARNING: This recipe is huge, I would say that it is suitable for a crowd of 20 or so.
Also, it only takes a 1/2 recipe to fill most trifle bowls.(some people use a punch bowl)
