This Toffee Brownie Chocolate Trifle recipe is perfect for chocolate lovers like me! It’s got layers of brownie, chocolate pudding, toffee, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream. It is heavenly!!
I love making trifle. It’s so simple to throw together, but it looks amazing. And of course it tastes incredible!
Every time I take trifle to potlucks, it is one of the first dishes to disappear. Everyone loves it! I’m always coming up with new variations of trifle, and this was one of our favorites. I just had to share it. Since it’s made of chocolate, it of course would be perfect on any Valentine’s Day menu. 🙂
I used the brownie base from my Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies, (I cut the recipe in half.) I am including the recipe below, but you can use your favorite brownie recipe, or even a boxed mix. As long as it’s a recipe for a 9×13″ pan, you’re good to go.

Does it matter what kind of milk I use? We only have 1%. Or could I use the whole can of condensed milk and thin it out with the 1%?

1% milk should work just fine!

Are the pudding mixes instant or regular?

Technically you could use either, but I always use instant because I don’t want to wait for cooked pudding to cool.

I didn’t see where it listed serving size, does anyone know?

Can someone tell me if I make the Chocolate Brownie Toffee Trifle on a Friday, will it be presentable to serve on a Sunday afternoon, since I have a full Saturday and Sunday morning.

Yummy! I’ve seen many versions of this and love your brownies vs the cake version. This is a wonderful dessert for a crowd. If you don’t have a trifle bowl, but have a cake stand with a lid, try inverting both to make a trifle bowl. Take a peek if you need to see a visual: http://www.friedalovesbread.com/2011/03/something-this-good-is-meant-to-be.html
