Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Slice the entire baked 9×13 inch brownie pan into thirds, then chop each third into bite-sized pieces to create the brownie layers for the trifle.
Make Pudding: Prepare the instant chocolate pudding according to the package directions, typically mixing the pudding powder with the specified amount of cold milk and allowing it to set.
Whip Cream: In a mixer, combine 3 cups of whipping cream with 1 tablespoon of white sugar, whipping until light and fluffy soft peaks form.
Assemble First Layer: Start with one third of the chopped brownies in the bottom of a large trifle dish or glass bowl. Spread 1 cup of prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the brownies, then add 1 cup of whipped cream, followed by 1 cup of chopped Halloween candy.
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times: brownies, pudding, whipped cream, and chopped candy. Finish with a final layer of browned and candy topped with the remaining 1 cup of whipped cream.
Garnish: Chop additional Halloween chocolate bars and sprinkle them on top as a garnish for extra flavor and decoration.
Chill: Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 6 hours for best texture and flavor. For a softer consistency, refrigerate overnight. If you prefer a chewier texture, it can be prepared as little as 3 hours ahead.

Notes

You can use either homemade or boxed brownie mix for convenience and flavor preference.
Adjust the amount of Halloween candy toppings based on sweetness and texture you prefer in the trifle layers.
If desired, substitute the whipped cream with a dairy-free alternative to accommodate dietary needs.
Ensure the instant pudding is fully set before assembling for best layering and consistency.
This dessert keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
