Main Ingredients

  • 1 large pound cake Provides structure and moisture.
  • 16 oz whipped topping Adds creamy texture.
  • 1 5 oz box INSTANT vanilla pudding For sweetness and creaminess.
  • 1 5 oz box INSTANT chocolate pudding Adds rich flavor.
  • 2 cups milk Needed to prepare the puddings.
  • 4 bars Butterfingers For crunch and a sweet, peanut butter flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare the instant vanilla pudding by mixing the contents of the box with the milk until thickened and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the instant chocolate pudding using the same method.
  • Slice the pound cake into even pieces, about one inch thick.

Layering

  • In a trifle dish, layer pound cake slices at the bottom.
  • Add a layer of vanilla pudding over the pound cake.
  • Sprinkle crushed Butterfinger Bars over the vanilla pudding layer.
  • Spread chocolate pudding over the crushed Butterfinger layer.
  • Repeat the layering process, finishing with whipped topping on top.

Finishing Touch

  • Spread whipped topping on the last chocolate layer and sprinkle additional crushed Butterfingers on top.
  • Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours before serving.

Notes

Use a serrated knife for cleaner cake slices and ensure your pudding is well-mixed. Refrigeration enhances flavors; consider using individual servings for gatherings.
