Looking for a fun and simple sweet treat to make for the family, or something fun to make with the kids? These Halloween Mason Jar Trifle's are perfect! This is such a simple decadent treat to assemble, and they're super cute too! Whether you serve them up at your next Halloween party, or as a special after-dinner treat for the family, everyone is sure to love them.
Betty Crocker™ Super Moist cake mixes are amazing! These handy mixes yield light, moist delicious results every time and are available in a variety of flavor choices. I used Super Moist Yellow cake mix and Super Moist Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix to make the pictured trifles. While some trifles are made with custard, I wanted something lighter to pair with the light moist cake. So, I whipped up a super simple 5 minute mousse. I topped the Trifles off with Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy icing (died fun Halloween colors with Betty Crocker Color Gels), PEEPS® Halloween Marshmallow toppers, and festive sprinkles. Like I said, super cute!

Prepare and bake your Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake according to the instructions on the packaging. Allow adequate time for the cake to cool. Slice the cake into 2 inch cubes. Set cake to the side. Prepare your instant pudding according to the instructions on the packaging. Once prepared, gently fold your frozen whipped cream topping into your prepared instant pudding to create your mousse. Once your cake and mousse are complete, it's time to assemble your Halloween Mason Jar Trifles. Optional step: dye your Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Icing fun Halloween colors.
To assemble your trifles, start by laying 2 to 3 cake cubes in the bottom of each of your mason jars. Next, spoon a layer of mousse on top of your cake. Repeat the previous steps until you have 3 tiers (or layers) to each of your mason jar trifles.
Once complete, top each of your mason jar trifles with Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Icing. Decorate your trifles with some spooktacular PEEPS Halloween Marshmallow Toppers (available Exclusively at Target), and add some festive sprinkles.
Serve your completed Halloween Mason Jar Trifles with a cold glass of milk & enjoy!
