Happy Birthday, Auntie!

Michele’s actual birthday was a few days after we got home from our cruise.  With everyone still exhausted and doing mass amounts of laundry and things we decided to just have a small celebration. 

After church, Michele and Dad came over to have dinner and dessert.  Michele has been asking for a Trifle bowl for the last couple of holidays so I finally went out and got her one!  I thought I would surprise her with a delicious trifle dessert but when I looked for a recipe everything seemed so difficult and rich.  I finally found a recipe on the Food Network website that seemed okay, Michele and I made it together…

All ready to put together

First, you make a chocolate sheet cake and cut it up into 1 inch squares

  Then, you add the squares to the trifle bowl

Now, layer with chocolate pudding, cool whip, and crushed Heath candy bars

The finished product!

Thomas and Noelle getting ready to have some dessert!  It did turn out to be a little too rich.  We all ate a little piece that night and then I’m sad to say the rest got thrown away!  We’ll have to keep looking for good trifle recipes, send one if you have one!
