*Gingerbread Trifle
6-8 cups of gingerbread, cubed
1 (3 oz.) pkg. vanilla pudding, mixed according to directions
3/4 cup English toffee bits (or crushed Heath candy bars)

Using half of each ingredient, layer everything in a clear glass bowl, starting with the gingerbread. Layer it all again and top with whipped topping and a few toffee bits. You could place in individual serving dishes too, if you like.

January 12, 2013 at 2:13 pmThe 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!
