Chocolate Twinkie Trifle image

Peter Halferty, Corpus Christi, TX, says "I got the idea for this recipe after my wife made a trifle for a special occasion. I thought chocolate would go well with Twinkies and the whipped topping would be light enough to reduce the sweetness. Everyone enjoyed the dessert...after all, how can one not enjoy a Twinkie?" From the Twinkies cookbook. Cooking time is the chill time.
