This dessert looks impressive, but did we mention how easy it is?! Yummy chocolate cake soaked in Kahlua, along with whipped topping and toffee bits. What’s not to love! Serve a scoop for each guest, or try making it in individual trifle dishes (we linked some below). Either way this recipe is sure to impress!

Such a decadent dessert! Years (and years!) ago, Christa's co-workers declared this the "almost better than sex dessert" and the name kinda stuck! Looks like a huge effort, but it's one of the easiest desserts to make. Plus, make it a day before so no work on party day!
Total Time 1 hour
Course Dessert
Servings 12

Equipment

  • 1 trifle dish (see below for options)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix
  • 1 6 ounce box INSTANT chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup Kahlua
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip
  • 1 package Heath toffee bits or Heath candy bars (crushed up)

Instructions
 

  • NOTE: This can be made the day before and chilled overnight.

Prep the Cake

  • Prepare the cake according to the box (make 2 round cakes).
  • Once cooled, poke holes in the cakes and saturate with Kahlua. You can do this the night before or at least an hour before assembly.

Prep the Remaining Ingredients

  • Prepare the pudding mix as directed with the milk.
  • If the pudding is too runny, allow to cool for 20 minutes.

Assemble the Dessert

  • Use a straight-sided glass bowl or trifle bowl for the best display. (For a fun option, try making this as individual desserts.)
  • Layer the bottom with the first layer of cake. (You can break it apart to do this, or simple place in the whole round layer if it fits your dish.)
  • Pour half the pudding over the cake layer and spread it to the sides of the bowl (so you can see the layers).
  • Spread half of the Cool Whip in the same way.
  • Sprinkle half of the toffee bits on top of the Cool Whip.
  • Repeat with another layer of cake, pudding, Cool Whip.
  • Sprinkle to top with the remaining toffee.
  • Chill until serving.
