3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens.
4. Remove from heat.
5. In a separate bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks until thick and pale yellow.
6. Gradually whisk one-fourth of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
7. Pour the tempered yolk mixture into the remaining hot milk mixture, whisking constantly.
8. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more to ensure the custard is thickened and cooked through.

15. Repeat layers twice more.
16. In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream at medium speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
17. Gradually add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
18. Spread whipped cream over the trifle and sprinkle with the remaining crushed candy bars.
19. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
