What to do when you have a recipe fail? My intention was to make some amazing brownie bites that our friend brought to our end-of-year Bible study. She told me she followed a recipe from her granddaughter and it sounded super simple. I’m not sure what went wrong but I had a problem on my hands. I had a brownie bites bomb but a quick-thinking, chocolate brownie trifle saved the day!Grateful Prayer Thankful Heart is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Layering the pieces of brownie with the pudding and whipped cream made a dessert that looked intentional and much prettier! And only you and I know about the recipe fail.
Topped with little red, white and blue star sprinkles creates a patriotic themed dessert.
