Death by Chocolate

Note: I may have already posted this recipe on my blog, but I'm sharing it (again) because it is one of my favorites to make for family and friends during the holidays.

Death by Chocolate

1 box brownie mix (21-23 ounces), prepared according to box directions and cooled
1/4 cup Kahlua (or Starbucks Frappucino Vanilla)
1 (4 serving) box of instant chocolate pudding
1 1/2 cup cold milk
1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip, thawed
4 SKOR or Heath toffee bars, broken into pieces


Once the brownies have cooled , use a fork to poke holes into the top of the brownies.

Keep in mind that you can bake the brownies the night before. It's especially helpful to do so if you don't have much time in the morning or want to sleep in like I do. :-)

Pour the Kahlua (or Starbucks Frappucino Vanilla) over the top of the brownies and set aside.


In a medium bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk and stir with a wire whisk until thickened.
Fold in half of the whipped topping and set aside.

Break up the brownies into small pieces (using a fork) and place half in the bottom of a large bowl.

Cover the brownies with the entire bowl of pudding mixture and half of the candy.


Place the remaining brownies on the top and cover with the remaining whipped topping.


Sprinkle the remaining candy over the top.


Chill for at least two hours before serving.

I can't take any credit for this recipe; it was given to me by Brian's cousin, Gina. Gina's mom, Aunt Nonnie, loved to prepare this dessert for family and friends. She is greatly missed by all who knew her.
