3/4 cup English toffee bits (or crushed Heath candy bars)

The Mexican Chicken Chowder is delicious and gets a four thumbs up in our household [hubby and myself]. I only made 1/2 the recipe in case we did not like it, but my husband was so interested that he asked what was in it, and we are going to serve it when we have company on Monday evening.
Thank you so much!

Slices of banana, or segments of orange might be nicer than the bits of toffee in the trifle.
