S'mores Trifle

No campfire needed!

By Heather Wirtz April 30, 2013
Love s'mores, but don't have a campfire handy? Here is a new way to enjoy a treat loved by all! This dessert is great for all occasions - birthday, BBQ, potluck or just because!

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake mix, prepared as directed on box
4 cups chocolate pudding
9 graham crackers (full size rectangles)
3 cups mini marshmallows
12 oz whipped topping
1 chocolate bar (we used Hershey's)
 
Prep: 

Prepare and bake cake as directed on package. After baking is complete, it is time to chop up your masterpiece! Just take a knife and cut the cake into cubes. No need to be neat or exact, this can be done right in the pan it was baked in.  Set aside to cool.

Directions:
  1. In a trifle bowl, layer 1/2 of the cake 
  2. Spread 2 cups of pudding on top of the cake.
  3. Break up 4 graham crackers into bite-size pieces and spread evenly over pudding
  4. Top graham crackers with 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  5. Layer 1/2 of the whipped topping 
  6. Repeat steps above - cake, pudding, crackers, mini marshmallows and whipped topping.  The top layer will be whipped topping.
  7. Garnish with crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows and pieces of chocolate bar!
  8. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
