Oreo Trifle

We invited over a couple of families over for dinner and I asked Jensen what we should have. He suggest Black Forest Trifle. Well I was all aboard. Not all the kids were on board with it though so I therefore was asked to make an Oreo Trifle for those that do not like Black Forest Trifle (previous post). So I made up my own and I am quite happy with it. I am so not a photographer but let me tell you... it was amazing. I don't even really like Oreo's that much.
