Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5.1 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 whole pound cake or yellow cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large Butterfinger candy bars (crushed)
- 16 ounces whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and the milk until smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Cut the pound cake or yellow cake into 1-inch cubes and set them aside.
Place the Butterfinger candy bars into a resealable plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or mallet. Alternatively, use a food processor for a finer consistency.
In a large trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, begin assembling the layers. Start by placing an even layer of cake cubes at the bottom.
Spread a layer of vanilla pudding over the cake cubes, ensuring an even distribution.
Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed Butterfinger candy bars over the pudding.
Top with a layer of whipped topping, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Repeat the layering process (cake, pudding, Butterfinger, whipped topping) until all ingredients are used, finishing with whipped topping and a final garnish of crushed Butterfinger candy bars on top.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Easy Butterfinger Trifle Dessert!
