There's nothing more Thanksgiving-appropriate than turning a British invention into an American dish. I got this idea from Paula Deen's recipe for her pumpkin trifle dish, but I decided to take some shortcuts and make it super easy.

1 package vanilla pudding

1 can pumpkin filling

1 package pound cake, cubed

1/2 c crushed gingersnaps (the crispy kind)

1 c bittersweet chocolate, grated

1 container Cool Whip

1/2 brown sugar

nutmeg, cinnamon

Mix the vanilla pudding and pumpkin filling together -- flavor with as much or as little nutmeg or cinnamon as you want. In a large clear dish, layer the pound cake, brown sugar, a sprinkling of chocolate, and Cool Whip in layers. Garnish with crushed gingersnaps and more chocolate.
