  • Recipe: Halloween Brownie Trifle

    In celebration of the Autumn season I brought this Halloween Brownie Trifle for Community Group last week.  My original inspiration came from a recipe called Black Velvet Halloween Trifle from Blue Bonnets and Brownies.  I decided to make my own version based off the items that I had in our pantry.  Her bottom layer was a Black Velvet cake made from scratch, however, I used a box brownie mix because I was doing it on a Sunday afternoon before our get together that night.

    The Halloween Brownie Trifle was a huge hit with our group so I decided to share it with you.  This dessert would be great for a Fall or Halloween get together with family and friends. The best part is it’s easy and delicious!

    Halloween Brownie Trifle:

    • 1 box Brownie Mix
    • 2 (3.4 oz) boxes Butterscotch Pudding
    • 1  (8 oz) container Cool Whip
    • 1 1/2 cups Candy Corn
    • Red & Yellow Food Coloring
    1. Make the brownies according to the directions on the box and cool completely.
    2. While the brownies are baking mix together the butterscotch pudding according to the directions on the box.  Stir in 1 teaspoon of yellow food color and 1/2 teaspoon of red food color.  Cover and put into the fridge until you are ready to assemble.
    3. Once brownies have cooled cut them up into 1 inch squares and layer them into the bottom of a bowl.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup of candy corn over the layers of brownies.
    4. Pour the cold butterscotch pudding over the brownies.
    5. Spread the cool whip over the butterscotch pudding.
    6. Decorate the top of the Halloween Brownie Trifle with remaining candy corn.

  • Kids in the Kitchen: Easy Parmesan Chicken

    The girls have started making dinner for the family once a week.  It has been fun coming up with easy and fun recipes for them to put together.  My husband actually came up with this idea after the girls suggested they make chicken nuggets for dinner one night.  This is a super easy recipe to put together and the only thing you really need to help the kids with is taking the hot pan out of the oven.  It is really neat to see them get excited about cooking dinner!

    Easy Parmesan Chicken:

    • 20 to 25 Chicken Nuggets
    • 8 slices Provolone Cheese
    • Small can or bottle Pasta Marinara Sauce

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease the bottom of a 9 x 13 pyrex dish.  Line the bottom of the pyrex with one layer of chicken nuggets.  Place the slices of cheese over the chicken nuggets.  Spread the pasta sauce over the cheese slices and bake uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
