Death by Chocolate Trifle

Note: I've used a chocolate cake mix, baked according to directions on box, as a substitute for the brownies as well. Also have made it with and without pecans. All delicious.

1 pkg fudge brownie mix
6 toffee bars, crushed
2 cartons (8 oz) Cool Whip
1 small box chocolate instant pudding
1 cup pecans, toasted

Prepare and bake brownie mix according to package directions. Prepare chocolate pudding mix; cool and mix with 8 oz Cool Whip. Crumble brownies; divide into 3 portions and place one portion in bottom of trifle bowl, then 1/3 of chocolate pudding mix, 1/3 of Cool Whip, 2 crushed toffee bars, and 1/3 cup toasted pecans. Repeat layers two more times. Cover and chill for several hours before serving.
