How to Make Mocha Mousse Brownie Trifle

  1. Prepare a box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade recipe) according to package directions. For a truly decadent treat, use toffee or peanut butter brownies. Let cool completely and cube into approximately 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a 2-quart trifle bowl or similar serving dish, layer half of the cubed brownies.
  3. Prepare your favorite mocha mousse mix according to package directions. (A homemade version can be substituted.)
  4. Spread half of the prepared mocha mousse evenly over the brownie layer.
  5. Top with half of a cup of whipped cream and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of toffee bits.
  6. Repeat layers with remaining brownies, mousse, whipped cream, and toffee bits.
  7. Finish by sprinkling the top with 2 tablespoons of grated chocolate, 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), 1/4 cup of crushed pretzels, and 2 tablespoons of hot fudge.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to chill.
