The hazelnut brownies, rich milk chocolate hazelnut mousse, whipped cream and candy bar delight layers are so sinful in our trifle!  No one can resist a taste or 2!

I don’t know about you, but I am obsessed with milk chocolate and hazelnuts and had went shopping at ALDI and came across these Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Bars from Choceur. I bought 4 and used 3 of these bars in this trifle.  It’s a decadent, smooth milk chocolate loaded with delicious fresh roasted hazelnuts and it’s definitely dreamy tasting.  How amazing does that sound?  Totally amazing, Ikr?!

Also, there are a variety of chocolate bar brands that you could also purchase as well besides the Aldi Hazelnut bars, like Ritter, Godiva, Milka Milk and Lindt.  All great choices for chocolate bars for your trifle!

We also use Nutella, which is a scrumptious hazelnut spread we definitely love!  We’re deep in hazelnut love here!  And using all these delicious hazelnut ingredients, definitely makes this one of the best decadent trifles I’ve ever tasted!

How to Make Easy Shortcut Hazelnut Brownies!

Love shortcuts!  So, trifles can be a little time-consuming, so we used a boxed brownie shortcut and baked some of our favorite boxed Pillsbury’s Milk Chocolate Brownies.  To make them hazelnut worthy, I roughly chopped one candy bar up and added it in the batter.  Then again, roughly chopped up another bar and sprinkled it on top of the brownies and baked them in a 9×13 pan.  Easy & Delish!

These decked out brownies are sinful all by themselves!!  Make a batch and see! You’ll love the flavors!

More Options

• Place some Ferrero Rocher Chocolates on top of the trifle on chop up pieces and add to the brownies or in the mousse!
• You can switch out the hazelnut mousse with a chocolate pudding and whipped cream combo, if you don’t have Nutella.
• Don’t have boxed brownies?  You can use this homemade Nutella brownie recipe or substitute chocolate cake for the brownies. You can also add some chocolate chips to your brownies or cake for some extra chocolate flavor!
• If you’re not a fan of milk chocolate brownies, feel free to opt for dark chocolate brownies.  Either way, super yummy!
• Want some crunch?  Add some extra hazelnuts to your trifle, either in the brownies or when you’re layering the trifle layers.

For your next special occasion, whether it be a birthday celebration, holiday get-togethers or potlucks, this Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie Mousse Trifle recipe will definitely impress!
