Peppermint Brownie Trifles

Have you noticed a holiday theme on my blog lately? Apparently, I’ve become addicted to all things peppermint. It started with this delcious No Churn Peppermint Ice Cream recipe and has just gone downhill from there. No big deal though, Christmas calories don’t count, right?

Usually my family is all about the Christmas cookies and we rarely stray from traditional Christmas favorites like frosted sugar cookies and gingerbread . This year however, we have branched out and welcomed some new and surprisingly good Christmas treats. In my quest to expand my families culinary horizons I have made this delicious Peppermint Brownie Trifle.

Since I’m gluten free, I couldn’t indulge in this blissful dessert, but the kids must have loved it because they devoured it in record time and asked for more. I’d call that a win!

Sometimes you just want simple and uncomplicated when it comes to baking. The holiday season is exhausting and the thought of whipping up from scratch brownies made me cringe, so I turned to a reliable alternative, Pillsbury™ Purely Simple™ Chocolate Chunk Brownie Mix. It’s the only brownie mix that I use because it contains simple ingredients that I can actually pronounce and is free from artificial colors, preservatives and artificial flavors. I grabbed my mix at Publix, they carry a wide variety of other Pillsbury™ Purely Simple™ products like brownie mix, cake mix and frosting. Perfect for a busy family!

With the way the kids reacted to this yummy dessert I think I have found a new favorite holiday dish!
