Submitted by Abigail Rich

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake mix
2 cans cherry pie filling
1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 container cool whip

Directions:
1.Make cake as directed. (You will only need approx. half of the cake - the other half of the batter is great for cupcakes, etc.)

2. Make pudding as directed.

3. Layer pudding, cake, cool whip, and cherries in trifle bowl Repeat layers as many times as bowl size will fit. Top with cherries.

4. To allow all of the flavors to mix well, refrigerate overnight or for several hours if possible. The trifle can also be eaten right away if necessary. Enjoy!

(Variations are endless: yellow cake, vanilla pudding, peaches/raspberries are a delicious combo!)
