OUTSTANDING- this was so good! It makes a lot so be sure to have a crowd to serve it to! I used 2 packages of pudding mix as recommended. I had to make whip cream since I did not have the time to wait 5 hours for the cool whip to defrost. A keeper!

My family didn't eat much of this. They said it was too rich. I really liked it though.

I made this dessert to take to a church potluck. It went so fast I didn't even have a chance to try it myself! The bowl was scrapped clean and everyone told me it was fantastic. I may have to make it again just to get a taste.

This desert was great especially because you could change certain things as you liked and still end up with a great tasting treat! I added coffee liquer to the coffee, used maltesers instead of the chocolate bars and fresh wipped cream instead of the frozen whipped topping (I don't live in America and cannot get this). I also made the German Chocolate Cake III (by Dean, also on this site)from scratch (although it was too much cake but it too was a great recipe). I recommend (as others have) in using 2 packets of pudding mix and making the desert the day before. It tastes much better if you do!! Also the best thing for me is that although it tastes similar to Tiramasu, it is even better!! Thanks for a great recipe.

I added vanilla extract to the cake and pudding. Next time I will not make instant pudding but rather the "cook and serve" kind, and also add a little bit more milk. I prefer the pudding slightly runny. Be sure to refrigerate at least overnight. Very easy to make and yummy! 1/28/05 I made this (again!) last night and added Kahlua to the coffee. YUM!!!! Also used the larger package of pudding.

Yummy!! We had it for a New Years Eve dessert as a family. It was enjoyed by all. I used Folgers instant coffee but am guessing a flavored brewed coffee would be better. I found there wasn't near enough pudding, so next time I will use two pudding mixes. Look forward to making it again.

I BROUGHT THIS TO A FAMILY PARTY AND EVERY ONE RAVED ABOUT IT. I ADDED A CAN OF CHERRY PIE FILLING TO THE LAYERS BETWEEN THE PUDDING AND THE CAKE. I TOPPED IT WITH A DEEP LAYER OF FRESH WHIPPED CREAM .

This recipe was amazing. I used the base recipie and improvised. I doubled the recipe using 4 8oz tubs of extra creamy cool whip. I used crushed chocolate covered shortbread cookies and chocolate malt balls in addition to the chocolate covered toffee bits. I used Devil's Food flavored pudding and I made the Deep Dish Brownies recipe from this site in place of the cake mix. I also used instant coffee instead of the brewed kind. It was a huge hit at my dessert party and went fast. I also sprinkled some cocoa and a few coffee crystals on the top of the cool whip in the final layer. This recipe is always in rotation and I know it by heart. Don't be afraid to experiment with ingredients. Try using some sliced frozen strawberries that are thawed out or, for an absolutely deadly experience, the buttercream frosting from ths site on one layer. Also, Oreo cookies placed on the top and middle layer for decoration also meld in nicely for a wonderful flavor. This is truly deadly and addictive.

We have a winner! Everyone raved about the cake. I made the pudding according to the PIE filling directions (it called for less milk). Next time I might make two boxes of pudding. Wonderful. Well done, Karen.

I have never seen a dessert fly out of the bowl quite like this one! YUM-MEE!!! Brought this to a pig roast over the 4th and everyone went nuts. No need to wash the trifle dish -- I thought they would lick the bowl!!! Thanks Karen. GREAT recipe!!!

This recipe was very good and the company I served it to went back for seconds and thirds! Though, instead of the coffee I used one of those Starbucks double espresso and cream chilled drinks they sell in the small cans and between the pudding (I used chocolate fudge) and whipped cream layers I put a layer of crushed chocolate graham crackers, also sprinkling the top with them, it seemed to turn out well, might have even been better with brownies like other reviewers suggested. All in all though, it was decedant! Would recommend... :)

I love this dessert. I modify it by using brownie mix on the bottom and then putting holes in the brownies after they cool and pour khalua over the brownies. I then use chocolate mouse and then the whipping cream with crumbled heath bars in the mix and then some crumbled on top as well. you need to use a deep pan. It is a pretty dessert and so very, very good!

I modified this recipe slightly by using chocolate fudge flavor cake and pudding mix, 3/4 cups Bailey's Irish Cream vs. coffee, added about 1/4 cup hot fudge and mixed with the bailey's and used Reese's vs. Heath bars. The taste was outstanding! If you love chocolate, this is the dessert for you!

My daughter had to make a dessert by herself for a foods class at school, and someone told her about this dessert. I thought it might be a little complicated for a 12 year old, but she made it alone, no problem, and WOW this is GOOD!!! Very rich, no wonder they call it death by chocolate :O)
