Chocolate Brownie Trifle

1. Prepare both boxes of brownie mix as instructed (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package) but also adding in 1/2 to 1 cup of chocolate chips to the mix. You want to bake the brownies a few minutes less than they call for; you want gooey moist brownies for this recipe.
2. Allow brownies to cool thoroughly before layering dessert. Cut brownies into 1-inch squares.
3. Mix water and condensed milk until thoroughly mixed. Add in pudding mix until combined completely.
4. Mix in 8 oz. whipped topping into the pudding/milk mixture until completely combined (no lumps).
5. In a trifle bowl or any large serving bowl, put half of the brownies on a single layer in the bottom of the bowl.
6. Add half of the pudding mixture on top of the brownies. Then add half of the remaining 12 oz. of Cool Whip. Repeat another layer while using the rest of the ingredients.
7. Place bowl in the fridge for at least 2 hours to meld all together, preferably leaving in the fridge overnight.

You can always top the mixture with strawberries, chocolate shavings, sprinkles, etc. You can make it festive for any holiday accordingly.
