Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 pound light brown sugar
2 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 (3.4-ounce) packages cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix
1/4 cup sherry
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
Mint sprigs, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Grease and flour a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. In a bowl, beat the eggs and butter together; add the brown sugar, then gradually add the flour and mix well. Stir in the vanilla. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.

Prepare the pudding according to the package directions. Let cool slightly. Crumble the blondies into chunks, put them back into the glass dish, and sprinkle with sherry. Spoon the pudding over the blondies. Beat the cream with the sugar just until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream onto the completely cooled trifle. Refrigerate until serving time.

Add mint to garnish.

Paula is the best!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I always wondered why people that dont like someone, subject themselves to watching that person. For those that dont like... Paula, then move on and watch something else. She is a great cook and a very gracious, downhome gal, who enjoys what she does and enjoys people. Paula honey, dont let anyone steal your joy. If you get a recipe from Paula and it doesnt come out right, or you didnt like it, then dont make it again. Its as simple as that.There is no reason to be mean to her or her show. I would love to spend a day cooking with Paula. She is a hoot and makes cooking fun. Keep at it Paula. There are pleanty of people that love you!!!Read more

Excellent recipe--many compliments received
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really wish the reviews on this recipe were more about the recipe itself, and not some negative troll who enjoys making bad... comments about people! It makes the reviews unfair and unfounded. At any rate, I made this for company I had a few weeks ago. I got many compliments. The sherry adds a nice gourmet touch. You would do well to make sure the pudding doesn't burn. Mine did a little because I did not stir it as much as I should have. There were little chunks of slightly burned pudding that tasted a bit singed. It did not mess up the recipe, though. I even added about 1/3 cup melted dark chocolate chips. I felt this took away from that artificial chocolate taste that these pudding mixes can sometimes give. For the whipped cream, I started to hand mix it, and not too much happened. An electric hand mixer is a must. Don't over mix it, or it will be too thick. Enjoy!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was fantastic! The bad review was from someone who obviously was drunk herself? She must be a rotton cook if she tried... Paula's recipes and didn't like them. This person is so transparent she is jealous of Paula. Paula is a doll and shouldn't change one thing about herself or her wonderful recipes!!Read more

Not the same
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Altho some of Paula's recipes are very tasty, I find them not to be as they appear. For instance, the Chocolate Trifle was... shown as a layered dessert in a trifle dish, but the directions did not indicate that. Also, I read the recipe three times for Shepard's Pie using left-over roast beef and never did see roast beef as an ingredient. It used ground beef instead. PLEASE, Paula, edit your recipes before you put them online! As an experienced cook I can get the concept, but novices may not. P.S. Do you accept recipe contributions?Read more

Absolutely delicious! I just carried this to a Bible study, and everyone absolutely gorged on this dessert. I followed all... of the directions, but I substituted Cool Whip for the heavy cream topping. It was still great, and I'll definitely do this one again!Read more
