Today I decided to re-visit a Porter House Original, Death By Chocolate Trifle. This recipe came about during a time when we were in transition of moving and had to live in a hotel. We had no kitchen, very little monies and a serious hankering for something sweet.  Within a blink of an eye the thought process began. What can I fix that didn’t require a kitchen? That didn’t cost a lot? And would fill the void?  Then the vision appeared and Death by Chocolate Trifle was born into existence. Now the traditional trifle consist of some sort of chocolate cake or brownies but with no kitchen that was out of the question and then I had an Aah Ha! moment. The light bulb went off.  How about Oreos? And there you have it my friends something simple, cost efficient but yet Sooo Good! I just love when a plan comes together.

Death By Chocolate Trifle

Ingredients

2 small packages of  instant chocolate pudding

4 cups of cold milk

1 package of Oreos, Crushed

 Instructions

Prepare pudding according to package directions with the above listed amount of cold milk; set aside.  Crush Oreos into pieces and place about half on the bottom of a clear glass bowl, in a single layer.  Evenly pour half of the pudding on top of the crushed cookies.  Layer half of the whipped cream, then half of the toffee bits.  Repeat layers one more time.  Chill for 4 hours before serving.
