Inside: A delicious and easy to make Halloween trifle made with HERSHEY® Halloween candy, chocolate brownies, pudding, and whipped topping.
Have you been to Walmart yet this Halloween season? Their Halloween department is massive and packed with a large selection of everything from Halloween candy to costumes and decorations.
On my last Walmart trip I stocked up on all our favorite HERSHEY® Halloween candy along with some fun, new Halloween decorations.
I stocked up on REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups, KIT KAT® Bars, and HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate for Halloween AND I had plenty of HERSHEY® candy to make this delicious Halloween candy trifle.
When it comes to Halloween candy desserts, this rich brownie trifle is a family favorite and always a hit at Halloween parties. Everyone in our family looks forward to me making this festive HERSHEY® candy trifle each year when Halloween rolls around. And it is so easy to make!
Halloween Trifle Ingredients
You will need…
- brownie mix – a box of fudge brownie mix plus the ingredients called for on the package, likely eggs, water, and vegetable oil.
- instant vanilla pudding mix
- milk – use whole milk for best results
- whipped topping – left in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to thaw

How to Make a Halloween Candy Trifle

- Prepare pudding – Beat pudding mix with milk until thickened. Stir in food coloring. Fold in whipped cream.

- Chill – Place trifle in refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Recipe Tips & Substitutions
- Prefer homemade? Try using your favorite homemade brownie recipe in place of a boxed mix.
- Prep ahead! Save time by making the trifle a day ahead of time and keeping it in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Lucky enough to have leftovers? Spoon them into a bowl and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Short on time? Take advantage of Walmart Grocery Pickup and get your ingredient shopping done without even having to step foot in the store!
- Make individual trifles. Layer the ingredients in individual cups (like we do in our recipe for dirt and worms) for individual-size Halloween party treats.
Enjoy! I just know that you and your family enjoy this Halloween candy trifle as much as our family does!
And don’t forget to stock up on all your favorite HERSHEY® candy at Walmart so you and your family can enjoy them all season long!
