Chocolate Candy Cane Triffle

I found Candy Cane flavored Jello Instant Pudding at the store and decided to make a dessert for Christmas using it.  I combined a few of my favorite sweets for this simple dessert.  This is a light dessert that's perfect after a heavy meal.

Chocolate Candy Cane Triffle

20 oreos, crushed
3/4 cup chocolate sauce
2-3.4oz pkgs Candy Cane flavored Jello Pudding
4 cups milk
1 angel food cake (I like Betty Crocker mix because it's so simple and cheaper than buying one at the store)
2 candy canes, crushed
8 oz cool whip
1/2 tsp peppermint extract (optional)

Tear the cooked angel food cake into 1 inch pieces and set aside.  Make the pudding according to the directions on the box.  If the flavor isn't strong enough, stir in the 1/4 tsp peppermint extract.  Set in refrigerator for a few minutes to soft set.  Put half of the angel food cake in a large bowl.  Sprinkle half of the crushed oreos on top.  Drizzle half of the chocolate sauce on top of the oreos.  Layer half of the pudding on top and spread it out.  Then spread half of the cool whip on top of the pudding.  Repeat the layers.  Put in the refrigerator for a few hours to set up.  Sprinkle crushed cane canes on top right before serving.  Serve chilled.  I have no idea how many servings this is. If you can't find candy cane pudding,  try vanilla pudding and add additional peppermint extract.
