Heaven in a Bowl Recipe: The Ultimate Layered Dessert You’ll Crave Again and Again

  1. Bake the Brownies:
    Prepare brownies according to package directions in a 9×13-inch pan. Let them cool completely, then cut into small bite-sized cubes.
  2. Mix the Pudding:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  3. Start Layering:
    In a large trifle bowl or glass serving dish, start with half of the brownie chunks, followed by half of the pudding, then half of the whipped topping, and sprinkle with half of the crushed candy bars.
  4. Repeat:
    Repeat the layers with the remaining brownies, pudding, whipped topping, and candy pieces.
  5. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or overnight—for the best flavor and texture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    When ready to serve, garnish with a few extra candy pieces, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a truly heavenly finish.
