Ingredients

1 Package of Brownie Mix (13x9 size) baked according to package instructions and cooled

2 Packages of Instant Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate Pudding, prepared according to package instructions       (I used European style dark chocolate mousse)

1 package of heavy cream, whipped w/powdered sugar & vanilla

 or 1-8oz. container of Cool Whip      (I used Cool Whip)

8 full-sized Heath Bars, crushed

2 oz. Kahlua or coffee

Directions

Bake and cool the brownie mix in a 13x9 pan.

When cool, poke holes in brownies and pour Kahlua over it.

            (I didn’t use the Kahlua or coffee, but I might if I were

            serving it somewhere other than work!)

Cut the brownies in small pieces

Using a clear glass bowl or trifle bowl layer the ingredients as follows:

½ brownies

½ mousse or pudding

_1/3 Heath Bars crushed

½  Whipped Cream or Cool Whip

½ brownies

½ mousse or pudding

_1/3 Heath Bars

½ Whipped Cream or Cool Whip

Top with _1/3 Heath Bars

Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving – can be refrigerated overnight

According to Debbie W, this can be made ahead and frozen for about a week.
