Brownie Trifle

Snagged this yummy recipe from my Great friend in Utah. You can visit her HERE. Enjoy!!  Recipe:  This recipe is something that I made up last night and it sounds like quite the task.  BUT... Actually, this whole thing can be prepared while the brownies bake and then the whole thing took about five minutes to "concoct".  It sounds strange.  BUT.  It's very pretty, it looks like you spent hours on it and oh sooooooooo nummy! Here's what you'll need: 1 box brownie mix.  Bake brownies as directed.  Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting.  Cut into 1 inch squares.  2 cups cream cheese chocolate frosting.   4 cups powdered sugar 8 OZ. Cream cheese 1/2 cup softened butter 1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla 1/2 cup cocoa NEXT: 1 large package instant vanilla pudding 1 regular size Cool Whip 1 tsp. Peppermint flavoring Red food coloring Mix pudding as directed on the box.  Add peppermint flavoring and red food coloring.  Whip well.  Gently fold in the Cool Whip.  Set aside. 1 bag Candy Cane flavored Hershey's Kisses Unwrap the kisses and place in a double boiler.  (or place in a bowl and place it in boiling water.)  Stir until softened and melted. Layer in Trifle Dish as follows: An inch of peppermint mixture. A layer of brownies completely covering the peppermint mix Drizzle some of the melted Kisses onto the peppermint layer Repeat two more times,  noting that the last drizzle of Kisses will set up and harden, giving this an extra crunch when served. Top with crushed candy cane or peppermint sticks if desired.
