Author: Julie@MomFabulous

Ingredients

  • 1 carrot cake cake mix
  • 24 Hershey's Kisses Carrot Cake cut into fourths, leaving one whole for garnish and one to shave as garnish
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 sticks butter softened
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 16 oz. container of whipped topping like Cool Whip, thawed
  • chopped walnuts for garnish

Instructions

  • 1. Bake carrot cake mix according to packages directions. Let cool. After cooled, cut into small squares.
  • 2. To make cream cheese filling, with an electric mixer beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly add the powdered sugar, a half cup at a time, and mix. Add enough powdered sugar until it's your desired consistency. I typically use all 3 1/2 cups. Add the vanilla and continue to beat the frosting on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the 16 oz cool whip topping.
  • 3. In a trifle dish or glass dish of some sort, put a layer of cubed cake first, then spread out a layer of cream cheese mixture, then sprinkle with chopped Hershey's Kisses Carrot Cake candies. Continue layers two more times ending with cream cheese mixture.
  • 4. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, shave/grate one Hershey's Kisses Carrot Cake candy onto top layer and end with one whole kiss in the middle.
  • 5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
