This chocolate toffee trifle dessert is by far one of the EASIEST desserts to make, but it looks like you spent hours on it. You can make it ahead of time, chill it overnight, and have an effortless party! That’s how we like to entertain!
Easy Desserts are the Best Desserts
Don’t spend all day in the kitchen – you have a party to get ready for! Box cake it is than!
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!
Chocolate Toffee Trifle Dessert

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.
