I'm not sure why this recipe calls for semisweet chocolate. I think it would be better with dark chocolate.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use fresh raspberries instead of frozen.

I'm not a big fan of raspberries, so I used strawberries instead. It was still delicious.

I added a layer of crushed Oreos to the bottom of the trifle and it was amazing.

I substituted dark chocolate for the semisweet chocolate and it was even better.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of raspberries and chocolate, but it totally works in this trifle.

I love how this trifle is both light and fluffy, yet rich and chocolatey at the same time.
