Ingredients

• One 15.25-ounce box red velvet cake mix

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Instructions

1. Follow the package directions to bake the red velvet cake, using melted butter instead of oil. Transfer the batter to a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or dish and cook as directed on the package. Allow it to cool fully, then break it into small bite-size pieces (save any extra crumbs).
2. In a mixing bowl, carefully combine the whipped topping and the frosting. Place a spoonful into each parfait glass, then add a sprinkle of the chopped candied pecans and walnuts. Layer on some cake pieces. Keep alternating layers of the frosting blend, nuts, and cake until full, ending with a topping of cake crumbs (break up extra cake pieces if needed). Fill the remaining glasses the same way and enjoy right away.
