Easy Chocolate Caramel Trifle

Do you have lots of company coming for the holidays? Do you love trifle like I do at Christmas but don’t want the fuss of custards? Try this Easy Chocolate Caramel Trifle that everyone will go crazy for.

I made a simple chocolate cake and put it in the freezer to use later for this recipe. You can use store-bought cake mix, or I will give you a great, easy chocolate cake to make!! Try this RECIPE and just omit the peanut butter spread and the topping for a perfect cake for this dessert.

The day of the function, pull out your cake and let it defrost. It is also easy to work with if it still is a little frozen. Thaw your frozen whipped topping, make an instant pudding, and viola, you have the quickest trifle ever. Everyone will be impressed and will think you slaved away making this very simple dessert.
