Chocolate Trifle {kid friendly}

My kids love to be able to make yummy treats for family for birthdays and special occasions, including Mother’s Day. It’s so cute but for Mother’s Day they don’t have me to help so the dessert has to be one my husband can make and not feel overwhelmed. This is a perfect solution! I used a box cake, instant pudding and made fresh whipped cream but you could easily use whip cream bought at the store. I even put the pudding into a ziplock bag and snipped the tip so they kids could just squeeze it into the glasses.

It was so yummy and they get so excited about being to make a delicious treat. We did a trial run over at Stacey’s house with the kids and they loved it. There were some pretty happy kids and Stacey and I thought they were pretty tasty too. I hope you have a great Mother’s Day, have a great time helping the mom in you life celebrate or both!
