Preparation

Step 1

Prepare brownies in a 9- x 13-inch baking pan according to package directions; allow to cool completely.

Use a fork to prick holes in top of cooled brownies; drizzle with coffee liqueur.

Break up brownies into small pieces. Coarsely crush candy bars in a food process or by gently tapping the wrapped bars with a hammer. Place half the brownies in bottom of a trifle dish or large glass serving bowl. Cover with half the pudding then one-third of the crushed candy and half the whipped topping. Repeat layers and top with the remaining crushed candy.

Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
