Chocolate Trifle

Ingredients

• 1 (19.8 oz) brownie mix -- prepared according to directions and cooled
• 1 (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 (8 oz) container sour cream
• 2 (12 oz) containers whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (8 oz) bag Heath Bar bits (optional)

2. Fold 1 container of whipped topping into chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Cut prepared brownies into small, bite-sized squares.
