Cool brownies and cut them into 1 to 2-inch cubes.
Beat pudding and milk together until it starts to thicken.
In another bowl, mix peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring into the whipped topping until it turns light green.
Place half of the brownie cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish or clear glass bowl.
Top with half of the chocolate pudding. Sprinkle on half of the mint chips.
Next, carefully spread half of the green whipped topping over the mints.
Repeat with the remaining brownies, pudding, and mint chips.
Cover loosely with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Right before serving remove the plastic and decorate the top with a “cloud” of the reserved green whipped topping.
Place some whole mints on top and garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
Notes
You can also do mini trifles. Just layer the ingredients in small individual trifle dishes, wine glasses, martini glasses, small juice glasses, small glass canning jars, or even clear plastic cups. Then, everybody gets their own dessert! What fun!
