From Quick Cooking 2001 recipe Light and refreshing dessert. Very pretty in a trifle bowl. Leave time for trifle to chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Note: Not sure of the size of a normal envelope of dry whipped topping mix - just the standard size is needed. You can use a store bought angel food cake or make one at home.

3/4 cup chocolate syrup

3. Cut cake into 1/2 inch cubes and place half in a 3 quart glass trifle bowl.
