1
Drain the cherries reserving a little syrup (approx 2-3 tbsp).
2
Put them in a bowl without the reserved syrup and pour over the brandy, leave overnight.
3
Slice each muffin horizontally three times and spread each slice with jam.
4
Re-build the muffins then cut into quarters as best as you can, this is rather messy. Put these into the bottom of your trifle bowl.
5
Put the cherries on top of the muffins and pour over the brandy from the marinade. If the muffins are not moist enough use the reserved cherry syrup as required.
6
Break the chocolate into pieces and put in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt the chocolate, do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
7
Put the custard in a bowl and add the melted chocolate, mix thoroughly and spoon over the cherries.
8
Whisk the cream into soft peaks and spoon it on top of the custard.
9
Crumble the flake bars and sprinkle over the cream.
10
This tastes better after leaving it to sit for a couple of hours to let the flavours meld together.
