3. St. Patrick’s Day Brownie Trifle
The third dessert you should attempt to make this St. Patrick’s Day is this brownie trifle, which looks and tastes amazing. The ingredients you will need are:
- 1 package of brownie mix
- 1 box of vanilla pudding
- 1 container of Cool Whip
- Green food coloring
- 1 package of Mint Oreos crushed
Since this dessert is a trifle after all the ingredients are baked and added into the bowl, there is no additional baking; only putting together the trifle. In order to make the trifle, layer cut-up brownies, add a layer of pudding, then a layer of cool whip and repeat this pattern. Once the majority of the bowl is filled up on top, add a layer of crushed Oreos and place it in the refrigerator until serving.
