At the end of each year I make some homemade goodies for my kids teachers. The last few years I have made cupcakes, and last year I made caramels, fudge, and truffles. Last summer I made a big Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake Trifle for a work BBQ dinner, and everyone loved it. So this year I decided to make the same trifle and put it in small glass jars for each teacher.
The recipe was from Life Love and Sugar, which is one of my favourite websites for delicious desserts, cupcakes and cakes. I used her brownie recipe for the bottom of the trifles, then layered with the cheesecake mixture, crushed Oreo's, chocolate whipped cream, and then sprinkled with more Oreo's.
I left out the Baileys as these gifts were for Teachers, and I didn’t think it would appropriate to give my kids teachers alcohol lol!
The jars that I used were Moccona 95g coffee jars that I had saved during the year. They were the perfect size, and next time I would fill them right up to the top, as they did settle a bit and ended up been ¾ fill the next day.
I found the perfect size tags from Two Peas & Their Pod, and the twine, wooden spoon and fork were from the local variety shop.
