I substitued 1 box of Jell-O no-bake silk pie for one of the mousse layers. What an absolutely wonderful dessert!!! -
This wasn't as good as I expected it to be. I made it for guests and it didn't get "rave reviews." I drizzled caramel on mine and I really thought that added to it. I realize that this is just personal preference, but we didn't care for the texture. It was like eating a combination of puddings with some cake crumbled in it. Some people may like that though. To each their own! -
I've been making this for at least ten years. The only difference is my recipe calls for a brownie mix rather than the cake one. A chocoholics dream! -
listen, i feel a little betrayed; "death by chocolate" --a dessert that has been in my family since i was born-- has always been made with snickers bars!! take that for a whirl and i promise you won't regret it :) i'm sad to see no one has posted my version of death by chocolate so i guess i'll have to add it in. thanks!

I love this recipe! Instead of using cake mix I used fudge brownie mixed and also sprinkled chopped up oreo cookie's along with the heath bar! They also don't really sell the instant chocolate mousse anymore, so I had to make my own using regular chocolate pudding and heavy whipping cream!

I used a family size box of brownie mix instead of the cake. After it cooled, I poked holes in it with a fork and added 1/2 cup of Kahlua. I scooped the brownies out of pan with a melon baller. To make the presentation nicer, I piped both the mousse and the whip cream into the trifle dish. This went to a party with me and all that came home was the empty bowl. Rave reviews from the party guests. It was yummy!

I live in a small southern town and love to cook good southern meals. I work full time as a Book Keeper and I don't have as much time to cook as I use to. I love to collect cookbooks and my favorite is the first Bell South Cookbook. I love to cross stitch and scrapbook and make my own greeting cards. I don't have time for mothers who do not cook for their family......I am a new grandmother as of January 22, 2006 to a beautiful girl, Ella-Kate. She is the apple of my eye.....
