Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Trifle
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the Party Rainbow Chip Cake mix following package instructions. Bake in a greased cake pan for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking both packages with 4 cups of cold milk. Divide the pudding into two bowls. Add blue food coloring to one bowl and pink to the other, stirring until mixed.
  3. In a clear trifle bowl, layer the dessert starting with cake cubes, followed by blue pudding, and a layer of Cool Whip. Alternate between cake, pink pudding, and Cool Whip, finishing with Cool Whip.
  4. Cover the assembled trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight to meld flavors and set layers.
  5. Before serving, decorate with edible candy grass nests on top of Cool Whip and scatter Easter egg candies around.
