Help me choose what to bake....

[dakcp2001]

Work party this week, trying to decide if I should make a trifle or the chocolate eclair cake that I saw here on the dis. Which sounds more delicious to you? I must also note, someone else is bring ing fruit and healthy stuff. I am on the dessert duty.

I am afraid the trifle wont travel in the car well. But I have never made the eclair cake and hope it turns out ok. Which should I make, POLL TO FOLLOW

Trifle- choc cake, choc pudding, heath bar, & cool whip

or

choc eclair cake - grahm crackers, vanilla pudding, choc frosting cool whip

I think we need a light hearted thread on the dis today. Enough with the Osama threads, lets discuss chocolate.

Both sound yummy. But the eclair sounds like a winner to me!

Both sound good, but the eclair cake doesn't have enough chocolate

Might I suggest 's@x in a pan'? It's similar to the eclair cake, but OH SO GOOD (as the name suggests!)

I think both may not travel well. How long will the dessert be sitting out?

Voted Chocolate Heath bar, Recipe please?

Ummmmm, chocolate I bet either will be yummy

I make the trifle all the time to take places, it travels well. If you have time, make it and put it in the fridge for a bit so it is more solid before it goes. If I am not riding with someone who can hold it, I put it into a box and stuff towels around it to keep it from tipping over.

I wouldn't take the trifle if you don't have a fridge at work and it will have to sit out all day before it gets eaten.

If I'm short on time or don't have a box to carry it, I've also taken everything and layered it at my destination before. You can crumble your brownie into a gallon ziploc and put your pudding into a container as well. This would also work if you don't have a lot of fridge space. May be easier to find room for small pudding and cool whip containers.

Super easy and soooo good. Everywhere I take it people LOVE it.

Looks like I use brownies versus the OP uses cake.

Bake brownies per directions. Cool and crumble.
Make 2 (or 3) boxes chocolate pudding per directions. I like to put it in the fridge to solidify more before I layer, but really doesn't matter.

Layer in a trifle dish - a deep dish for layered desserts ($10 at Walmart)

In order, start with:
1/3 brownies
1/3 pudding
1/3 container Cool Whip
1/3 bag of Heath (baking aisle)
Repeat 2x.

Thank you very much. I started my diet today, but will put this away for a rainy day. (a nice way of saying my lack of restraint).

I had that EXACT SAME trifle at a wedding shower yesterday! (Were you there? )

It was DELICIOUS. Everyone commented on how they could have eaten the whole bowl.

I'm drooling over this recipe. Thanks for posting it, I'll have to try it.

You can use brownies or chocolate cake. I usually use chocolate cake, and I poke holes with a fork and drizzle a little kahlua on it. Cut into chuncks

layer
cake or brownie chunks
chocolate pudding
cool whip
health bar
repeat. I like the top to be cool whip and health bar so I can make it pretty.


There is a summer or WW version of a trifle I love too since you are on a diet:

Angel food cake
sugar free fat free vanilla pudding
fat free cool whip
strawberries and bluberries (or any berries)

It makes a pretty dish for 4th of July

Is anyone else subscribing to this thread? I'm on a diet too but I don't want to lose these recipes.

The trifle was a big hit.
