Chocolate-Strawberry Punch Bowl Trifle



This layered trifle looks amazing, and it's so easy! Plus, it feeds a crowd, so it's great for huge get-togethers and potlucks.

1 Package (18 1/4 ounces) Chocolate Cake Mix
1 Quart fresh whole strawberries
1 carton (15 ounces) strawberry glaze
2 cartons (12 ounces each) Cool Whip, thawed, divided
1 cup chocolate frosting
Shaved Chocolate (for garnish, optional)

Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a 9x13 pan. Cool cake completely on wire rack.
Set aside five strawberries for garnish. Slice remaining strawberries. Cut cake into 1-inch cubes. Place half of the cake cubes in a 6-quart glass punch bowl. Top with half of the sliced strawberries; drizzle with half of the strawberry glaze. Spread with 3-1/2 cups Cool Whip.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat frosting on high for 20-30 seconds or until pourable, stirring often; cool slightly. Drizzle half over the Cool Whip layer. Repeat layers of cake, berries, glaze, Cool Whip and frosting. Top with remaining Cool Whip. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Garnish with shaved chocolate and reserved strawberries.
YIELD: 24-28 servings
