Here's one more, that's kinda different.

CHOCOLATE BUTTERFINGER TRIFLE
1 box Butter Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Large Tub of Cool Whip
1 jar of Hot Fudge Topping (find it in the ice cream section of grocer)
5 Large Butterfingers

Real easy. Bake the cake according to the box instructions. Let it cool.
Crumble it up...and place 1/3 on the bottom of trifle dish. Slightly heat the
fudge topping, pour a layer on cake. Add layer of crumbled
Butterfingers, then a layer of Cool Whip. Start the layering again...in
the same order until you reach the top of the trifle dish. Top off with
cool whip! Sprinkle some Butterfinger crumbs as a topping!

Okay, so I like chocolate and peanut butter!

Ohhhh! they all sound so good! Was wondering on the Blueberry Yum Yum if a person wants to be lazy like me, why couldn't you use a can of blueberry pie filling in place of using the fzn blueberries, cornstarch and so forth. Anyone tried this? Just curious.
