This Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie Mousse Trifle is truly a chocoholics 'heaven'! It has divine layers of milk chocolate hazelnut brownies, rich chocolate hazelnut mousse, chopped bits of milk chocolate hazelnut bar with loads of hazelnuts and enticing dollops of sweetened whipped cream!
You'll definitely wow the crowd with this creamy layered trifle!
I am obsessed with milk chocolate and hazelnuts and had went shopping at ALDI and came across these Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Bars
from Choceur. I bought 4 and used 3 of these bars in this trifle. It's a decadent, smooth milk chocolate loaded with delicious fresh roasted hazelnuts. How amazing does that sound? Totally amazing, Ikr?!
But there are a variety of chocolate bar brands that you could also purchase as well, like Ritter, Godiva, Milka Milk and Lindt, to name a few. All great chocolate bars for your trifle!
But we also use Nutella, which is a scrumptious hazelnut spread, so we're deep in hazelnut love here!
We used a shortcut and baked some of our favorite boxed Pillsbury's Milk Chocolate Brownies
. To make them hazelnut worthy, I roughly chopped one candy bar up and added it in the batter, then again, roughly chopped up another bar and sprinkled it on top of the brownies and baked them in a 9x13 pan.
These decked out brownies are sinful all by themselves!! Make a batch and see!
As far as this trifle, the hazelnut brownies, rich milk chocolate hazelnut mousse, whipped cream and candy bar delight layers are so sinful! No one can resist a taste or 2!
This is one of the best trifles I've ever had, along with Double Stuff Oreo Brownie Chocolate Mousse Trifle, Ultimate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Trifle, Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownie Trifle Delight and this Heavenly Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Brownie Trifle.
