You know those days where you want to eat a whole box of Oreos? In extra creamy, extra delicious form?

Well, today is one of those lucky days!

This trifle is nothing short of an Oreo lover’s dream, and is also super easy to put together! It’s a win-win in the Oreo world, that is for certain.  Trifles are a great way to throw together simple, mainly store-bought ingredients for an impressive, low maintenance dessert.  This can be made ahead, and dressed up any way you please – love caramel?  Throw it in.  Don’t have time for brownies?  Just do pudding and Oreos.  No Oreos?  Just do the pudding mix and brownies.  Any way you scoop it, it’s popular every time with kids and adults alike.

I’ve had this recipe in the wings for awhile, since I originally threw it together for (Canadian) Thanksgiving back in October – it’s a good thing pictures stay fresh longer than trifles do! This is rich, sweet, dense, and totally delicious.  You’ll only need a small serving to top off a delicious dinner, but I’m pretty sure you’ll want more than that :)

So, by popular request, Oreo trifle… happy Saturday!
