Halloween Kitty S’more Trifle

With Halloween just right around the corner, I’ve been working on coming up with some different Halloween treats instead of the boxed treats from the store. I mean, in a hurry I would totally grab those and not give it a second thought. I am not one of those I-spend-5-hours-in-the-kitchen-making-the-perfect-treat-Mom. I love quick and easy. And 90% of the desserts posted are always going to be super easy. I love to cheat on making recipes as well. Recipe cheating means taking a little boxed and mixing it with made from home with love. It’s the best of both worlds, ;)!!

If you’re looking for a recipe that will WOW the kids, but something you can do QUICKLY, then this EASY Halloween Kitty S’more Trifle will be perfect for you to make for a Halloween treat. This is also a great recipe for that upcoming Halloween classroom party that you’re dreading ……. what do I make? So grab these ingredients and get started!

Halloween Kitty S’more Trifle Ingredients ­

• 48 Chocolate Creme Kitty Peeps (if making 12 mini trifles – this recipe will make approximately 12)
• 2 C. of graham cracker crumbs (I place graham crackers in a large Ziploc and use a rolling pin to crush)
• 1 container of chocolate syrup to pour over the trifles.
• Cupcake Ingredients ­
• 1⁄2 C. butter, softened to room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 1 C. milk
• 1 tsp. white vinegar
• 1 1⁄2 C. flour
• 1 C. sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/3 C. cocoa powder

Directions ­for Halloween Kitty S’more Trifle

#1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 12ct. cupcake tin.

#2. In a medium bowl combine the 1⁄2 cup of softened butter, 2 eggs, milk, sugar and vinegar. Beat

until smooth.

#3. In a separate bowl combine the flour,baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Mix well and slowly

fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients stirring until smooth and all lumps are gone.

#4. Pour the batter evenly into the cupcake tin and bake 19­21 minutes. Around 19 minutes insert a

clean toothpick into the cupcakes and if it comes out clean they are done.

Let cool completely before assembling your trifles.

Assembling the Trifles ­

#1. Place four Kitty Peeps around the perimeter of the mini trifle dish facing them outward. Four is

the perfect number and they will be able to touch and support themselves.

#2. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use your fingers or a butter knife and rip them apart

one at a time. The cupcake pieces will fill in the middle section of your trifle dish. You could even

use some to layer the bottom of your dish if you’d like. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

#3. Pour the graham cracker crumbs into the sides of the Ghost Peeps.

#4. Use the chocolate syrup as a topping and enjoy! Easy!

*Note, each trifle uses a little less than 1 cupcake so you may have some leftover.
