I don’t know about you, but there is nothing better than a chocolate filled trifle. They are so fun and easy to put together, the varieties are endless, and they are always a hit at any party, gathering, or event!
Last weekend, I asked my hubby what sounded good for dessert. I was thinking he would say some type of cookie, brownie, cake, etc. However, he surprised me by asking if I could make a trifle! Heck yeah I can make a trifle, haha!!
Trifles are a gorgeous layered dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make. So many varieties to choose from!
My four year old son helped me put this together one afternoon while my hubby was at work and my other two kids were at school.
We both had so much fun and at the end of it he said “this reminds me of an ant farm”. Hmmmm……he is four, so I am going to go ahead and take that as a good thing, LOL!! Funny how little kids minds work, right?!
