Butterscotch Trifle

If you are looking for an easy dessert that looks good and tastes good, this butterscotch trifle needs to be in your lineup.  As you know, every once in a while, I will create a recipe that uses box ingredients.  This is one of those times and this butterscotch trifle would be a great dessert to make with your kids.  The cake was made with a box mix as was the pudding.  The whipped cream did not come out of a container but making homemade whipped cream is so easy and tastes so much better than the alternative.  Simply add cream, sugar and vanilla to your stand mixer and let it go.  Voila!
