This salted caramel trifle is perfect for game day. Covering football-shaped crackers in chocolate and then piping "laces" with white chocolate makes the dessert feel so on-theme. —Taryn Camp, Oviedo, Florida

- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1-1/2 cups cold whole milk

Directions
- In the top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering water, melt dark chocolate; stir until smooth. Repeat with white chocolate.
- Dip crackers in dark chocolate coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Pipe white chocolate lines for football stitching over top. Let stand until set.
- Meanwhile, prepare and bake brownies according to package directions for cakelike brownies, using a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into 1-in. cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk chocolate pudding and milk on high speed until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk vanilla pudding and milk on high speed until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add salted caramel sauce and sea salt until well blended. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla paste; beat until stiff peaks form.
- Place half the brownie cubes in a 3-qt. glass trifle bowl or serving dish. Cover with half the chocolate pudding. Sprinkle with pretzels. Layer with half the salted caramel pudding. Sprinkle with chopped caramel-filled chocolate pieces. Repeat layers. Spread whipped cream over top. Decorate with football crackers and salted caramel sauce, as desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
