I made this for a change from the usual summer desserts and it was soooo good. Everyone really loved it and wanted the recipe. I made my own spice cake recipe and smashed some Wherther's toffee candies in place of the original ingredients and it was absolutetly delicious. I'll surly be making this again & again.

I'm sorry to say that my family did not really enjoy this dessert. They didn't say anything was specifically wrong with it just that they "Liked other things much better." I thought the taste was pretty good, you could taste the spice cake mostly, and it was a bit too moist for us. I'm sure others would probably like this, it just didn't fly with my family.

This dessert was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner and was extremely easy to make. I couldn't find any of the suggested toppings to sprinkle on the dessert, so I used miniature cinnamon chips. I was unsure as to when the 12 oz. carton of whipped topping should be used...I read the instructions several times to be sure I wasn't missing reading when this should be added. I finally ended up putting it on top of the trifle and sprinkling the chips on it.

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
