Leftover Halloween Candy Trifle

i don’t know about you, but this Halloween candy HAS…GOT…TO…GO!!!  we allowed the kids to each pick out 10 pieces after Halloween, and the rest was poured into a massive bowl that has been sitting up on the top of my fridge, taunting me every time Jake and i sit down to watch HIMYM on Netflix (we are on Season 7…and i’m dying to know how its all gonna end.  i’m seriously invested in the lives of Ted, Robin, Barney, Lily-Pad and Marshmallow.  i feel like they are my real-life friends….like i’m actually gonna go meet up with them tonight in our booth at MacLaren’s.  am i the only one who really feels like that?  please…somebody…be as crazy as i am when it comes to TV shows.)

anyway…i had finally had enough of the taunting coming from that big wooden bowl, so i decided to do something about it…

so for our City Group Meeting last week, i decided i was gonna share the wealth…but since all of my friends are also all sick of the taunting coming from their own Halloween candy bowls, i had to get creative….

so…i adapted an old tried and true recipe called Death by Chocolate, and came up with a great way to rid my house of all those leftover chocolate bars criminals and get my friends to eat them instead, without them really realizing my sneaky ways.  and so i present to you…

Leftover Halloween Candy Trifle

here’s what you do.  start off my digging all those tempting chocolate bars out of your stash.  don’t hold back people.  get ’em all.  EVERY…LAST…ONE.  the more the merrier.  don’t leave any behind.  include those m&m’s too, cause they are just as deadly…

then gather up a few other weapons.  this ain’t no clean eating…we are pulling out the big guns for this job.  (full ingredients list on the recipe card at the bottom of the post)

make some brownies and let them cool.  or buy some already made, but make sure you get or make the frosted ones.  cause frosting just makes everything better.  and you are trying to be sneaky here, so you want this to taste as amazing as possible, and let’s be honest…frosted brownies have some power that regular brownies just don’t possess.

this next step might require some accomplices to do the dirty work.  let those accomplices unwrap all those little chocolate villains…

and just throw them all together into one big ol’ ziploc bag.  remember, they are the enemies here, so have no mercy:

then you…..
well….you go all B6-13 on ’em.  (Scandal reference, anyone?  anyone??)
i’ll just let the next picture do the explaining:

at this point, the dirty work is done.  now you just have to finish the job.  so make your pudding:

once that’s set, gather up all your ammunition:

and start the layering, people.  brownies, pudding, cool whip, candy, brownies, pudding, candy, cool whip, candy:

and your job is now complete.  you need to get rid of the evidence, so take it to the nearest gathering of friends, neighbors, heck…random people for all i care.  just GET THIS OUT OF YOUR HOUSE ASAP!!!  (but not before having just one little eensy weensy bite.  just one bite never hurt anyone.  you’ll thank me later.)

here are the detailed instructions for your files:

trust me.  do this immediately.  no one’s got to know the motive…and you will receive your payment in the heaps of gratitude from those with whom you choose to share this Death by Chocolate!
