Blackberry Brownie Trifle

I think we can all agree that everything tastes better in a mason jar. For The Rose Table en Blanc, I wanted something that was easily portable and that could be served chilled. Mini Blackberry Brownie Trifles were the perfect solution! I hope you love this as much as my guests and I did.
