Better Than Anything Candy Bar Trifle is THE BEST trifle dessert ever! This is another way to make that chocolate cake dessert that everyone loves!
Our family absolutely loves this Candy Bar Trifle recipe and that is why I had to share it as part of our Ultimate Trifle Desserts Series. It’s just a delicious chocolate cake dessert, and a perfect blend of candy, caramel, and chocolate. My husband doesn’t like chocolate, and usually will refuse to eat the treats we make with any kind of chocolate. Except this candy bar cake dessert! Even my husband is perfectly willing to take a generous helping of this trifle, and he even suggests that we make it sometimes! Unlike our other dessert trifles, this recipe doesn’t have have pudding, but it still has the fluffy cream, and delicious cake. This is also affectionately called “Better Than Anything” Trifle.

How to Make Better Than Anything Trifle (Candy Bar Trifle)
For this recipe, you will need a chocolate cake mix like this Dark Chocolate Fudge or your favorite cake recipe. Also, you’ll need at least 2 candy bars (we love Heath or Skor bars), heavy whipping cream, and caramel topping. You may also add hot fudge, or chocolate pudding if you want.
Bake the cake as the box directs or use your favorite chocolate cake recipe. Whip the cream and add sugar. Crush up the candy bars in zip top bag. If you want to use chocolate pudding, go ahead and make it too so it can chill while you prep these ingredients.
