I made one similar to that one last nightI used brownies and add 1 tbsp of instant (dry) coffee to the brownie mix then baked up the brownies. Then I made the choc pudding with 1/2 cup Kaluha and 1 1/2 cp milk and mixed in 1 8oz tub of whipped cream. I layered it with the brownie the pudding mixture and toffee pieces. I cant wait to dig in tonight!!
