Step 1: Prepare the brownies
Prepare the brownies in a 9×13 inch pan, according to box directions. Allow the brownies to cool completely and cut them into small squares.

Step 3: Start the first layers of the trifle
To assemble the trifle, start by adding a layer of ½ of the brownies to the bottom of the bowl. Then, sprinkle ⅓ of the crushed Oreos over top. Spoon in about ½ of the pudding, and smooth out evenly. Add half of the remaining cool whip, and smooth out evenly.
Step 4: Finish the layers
Add the remaining brownies in a layer. Sprinkle another ⅓ of the Oreos over top. Layer the remaining pudding, and smooth out evenly. Add the remaining cool whip, and smooth out evenly. Finally, sprinkle the remaining Oreos over top.
