Ingredients

1/4 cup sherry
2 (3.4 oz) packages cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups self rising flour
1 lb light brown sugar
1 stick butter
3 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
sprig for garnish fresh mint

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 °F.

Grease and flour a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. In a bowl, beat the eggs and butter together; add the brown sugar, then gradually add the flour and mix well. Stir in the vanilla. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.

Prepare the pudding according to the package directions. Let cool slightly. Crumble the blondies into chunks, put them back into the glass dish, and sprinkle with sherry. Spoon the pudding over the blondies. Beat the cream with the sugar just until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream onto the completely cooled trifle. Refrigerate until serving time.

Add mint to garnish.

Congratulations Elaine! Your truffles sound delicious as well. I love your story :) These have to be wonderful Paula with the blondies and chocolate. Blondies are my sons favorite brownie. BLondies are one of the first things he learned to cook on his own. That and french toast :)

Hi y'all, We're coming to see you in September on our Honeymoon (we're both 79 years and just got married April 2nd!!!! I used to make a Trifle with devil foods cake,crushed heath bars, choclate pudding (instant) and of course cool whip (layers of each) Have I left anything out (maybe a little Grand Marnier) HEH? Family are coming in August for my husband's 80th birthday and I think that would be a great desert to serve them. Agree or do you have anything to add?? Would love to hear from you. My name is Elaine Brown Mattes, ebcay108@ec.rr.com.

Some time ago I was watching a show where you made a dessert that sounded so wonderful I went right out and bought the Pecan Sandies which was the base of the recipe. For the life of me I cannot remember what the recipe was. Any help for me? I also thank you for the recipe for Best Crab Casserole. That resureccted a long lost recipe of my grandmothers. The only difference was that she also added shrimp with the crab. I am very happy to have that recipe again. I love your show and watch it religiously......even most of the repeats. My 6-year old grandson loves to watch Paula "Dane" with his father. I wonder why his father started watching it??????? Family tradition. Love ya Pat Beazer
