Ingredients

  • Box of brownie mix 9x13, prepared according to box directions
  • 2 - 3 ounce boxes instant chocolate pudding prepared according to box directions
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • 14.3 ounce package Oreos about 36 cookies, divided
  • Green icing pouch use the round tip
  • Edible Easter grass
  • Gummy worms

Instructions

  • Prepare brownie mix in a 9x13-inch pan according to box directions and allow to cool completely.
  • Cut cooled brownies into 1-inch cubes.  Set aside.
  • Prepare pudding according to box directions.  
  • Fold cool whip into prepared pudding.  Set aside.
  • Place 8 Oreos in a food processor and blend them into crumbs.  Set aside.
  • Place remaining Oreos in a large ziplock bag.  Hit them with a mallet until they are in smaller chunks.
  • To assemble your trifle, place ⅓ of brownie chunks in the bottom of your trifle bowl followed by ⅓ of the pudding mixture and ½ of the crushed Oreos.  Repeat this two more times.
  • Sprinkle Oreo crumbs over top.
  • Using the round tip on the green icing pouch, pipe blades of grass around the cake.
  • Add gummy worms and edible Easter grass sprigs to the top of the trifle for garnish.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • This dessert is best when it has been sitting in the fridge for a few hours before serving. 
  • Be sure you use the instant pudding mix. The ones you need to cook will not set up properly. 
  • If you’re using double stuffed Oreos, make sure there is enough cookie compared to filling to have the right consistency. 
  • Feel free to add other toppings like gummy bears, M&Ms, chocolate chips or even Golden Oreos.
