Butterfinger Sand Art Trifle

By BuffieBelinda

This is my son's favorite dessert (well, it's ALL the kids favorite!). They literally knock each other over trying to be the first in line to get a plate. If I don't make it for Christmas dinner dessert, I might as well take back all my presents! It's easy and looks beautiful. Everyone will be impressed if you make this.
