Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Slice the entire 9×13 inch pan of brownies into thirds, then chop each third into pieces to form the layers.
Make Pudding: Prepare the instant chocolate pudding according to the package directions and set aside.
Whip Cream: Using a mixer, whip the 3 cups of whipping cream with 1 tablespoon of white sugar until light and fluffy.
Assemble Layers: Start with one third of the chopped brownies as the first layer in a large trifle dish or bowl. Spread 1 cup of chocolate pudding evenly on top of the brownies, followed by 1 cup of whipped cream, then 1 cup of chopped Halloween candy.
Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process twice more—brownies, pudding, whipped cream, and candy—ending with a final layer of Halloween candy on top and reserving 1 cup of whipped cream.
Top and Garnish: Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the trifle. Garnish with additional chopped Halloween chocolate bars as desired.
Chill: Refrigerate the trifle for at least 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For a softer texture, refrigerate overnight. If you prefer a slight chew in the candy, prepare at least 3 hours ahead of serving.

Notes

Use boxed brownie mix for convenience or homemade brownies for a richer flavor.
Any combination of leftover Halloween candy works well—feel free to mix chocolates, caramel, and nougat candies.
Allow the trifle to chill sufficiently to let the pudding set and the flavors meld properly.
If desired, substitute the whipping cream with a non-dairy alternative to make it dairy-free, but note that texture may vary.
For a more festive presentation, use a clear trifle bowl to showcase the distinct layers.
