I have two similar recipes that everyone loves except they use french vanilla pudding mixed with the whipped topping and layer it with Oreo or Graham Crackers. I think there end up being three layers when I make those, but it has been awhile since I've made them. Thanks for sharing this one! I made it this past week since my husband needed something for a party at work...one small dish for the family, one large dish for the office, a lot fewer calories for the pregnant momma. :D Sounds like there are a lot of variations of this type of dish.

I agree, you could probably use many different types of cookies and candy and have a great (albeit very unhealthy) dessert.

Things like this go over well with most crowds so you usually don't have to worry too much about leftovers ;) I’ve found it helpful to make things like this to take when I need a snack for something…I usually keep a small portion aside and make a mini for whoever happens to be staying home, and then, I use the bulk of it for taking.

Oreo Brownie Trifle 1 package brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size), plus ingredients to make cake like brownies 1 cup cold milk ¼ cup instant coffee granules 2 packages (3.4 ounces) instant cheesecake pudding mix 2 containers (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed 20 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions for cake-like brownies, using a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. In a large mixing bowl, beat the milk and instant coffee granules; stir until dissolved. Add pudding mix and 1 and ¼ or ½ container of whipped topping. Whisk until smooth. Fold chopped cookies into the pudding mix. Cut the brownies into 1-in. cubes; place half in a 3-qt. glass trifle bowl. Cover with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers. Top with extra whipped topping and sprinkle with chopped Oreos. Refrigerate. Here’s my version which actually uses cheesecake pudding and instant coffee for added flavor.
