Step 4: Assemble the Layers
Now comes the fun part! Use a large glass trifle bowl (or a deep glass dish) so the layers are visible.
- First Layer: Place half of the cubed brownies at the bottom of the bowl.
- Second Layer: Spread half of the pudding over the brownies.
- Third Layer: Add half of the whipped topping, smoothing it gently.
- Fourth Layer: Sprinkle half of the crushed candy bars on top.
- Repeat all layers again: brownies → pudding → whipped topping → crushed candy.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for extra decadence.
- Garnish with a few larger candy chunks for a pretty presentation.
Serving Suggestions
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, so the flavors meld together.
- Serve with a large spoon, scooping down to get every layer in each serving.
- Pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk.
Tips for Success
- Brownie Alternatives: You can swap brownies for chocolate cake cubes or even chocolate chip cookies for variety.
- Candy Options: Snickers, Reese’s, or KitKat bars also work wonderfully.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be made the night before — it actually tastes even better the next day!
- Portion Size: Prepare in individual mason jars for a party-friendly version.

Would you like me to also create a lighter (healthier) version of Heaven in a Bowl, using Greek yogurt, fruit, and dark chocolate so you can enjoy it guilt-free?
