Years ago, my friend Tara made a Chocolate Raspberry Trifle and brought it over to a pizza party I was throwing. She made it for a few other occasions and it was always a huge hit. I've made this a few times as well, and finally took some pictures of it to post on here.
This is a great party dessert - both kids and adults enjoy it. It's very simple to make too - bake a recipe of your favorite brownies, let them cool & cut into pieces, mix a box of pudding, add Cool Whip to it, and assemble the trifle. Give it a try and see for yourself how popular it will be!
If you don't have a trifle bowl, use a nice looking clear round bowl. I received my trifle bowl from a co-worker for a holiday gift exchange and I love it. Mine is from
Williams-Sonoma, but unfortunately they no longer carry it.
Crate and Barrel also sells a nice one, though theirs is a bit smaller, but does not seem quite as fragile as the one I have.

Chocolate Raspberry Trifle
3 cups milk
1 package (6-serving size) chocolate flavor instant
pudding
2 8-ounce containers Cool Whip, thawed
1 baked 9-inch square brownie layer (from scratch or a
mix), cut into bite size pieces
1 12-ounce bag frozen raspberries (or about 2 cups)
Make a 9-inch square pan of brownies. Let cool and cut
into bite sized pieces.
Mix one package of pudding with three cups of milk (you
can also use a 4-serving size box of pudding with two cups of milk). Fold in half
of a container of Cool Whip with the pudding.
Place half of the brownie cubes in a trifle bowl. Top with
half of the pudding mixture, half of the raspberries and half of the remaining
Cool Whip. Repeat layers. Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.
