Ode to Jofus

Here is an incredible dessert that can be made for potlucks and BBQs. Warning: This is an extreme dessert and not for wimps. This is dedicated to my son, Jofus. His aunt came up with it when she was thinking of him.
What you need:
2 dozen glazed doughnuts
1 gallon of vanilla ice cream (there will probably be leftovers and these you can eat all on your own)
1 large bag of M&M's
3 bottles of Magic Shell ice cream topping
What you do:
Cut the doughnuts into cubes and layer a thin layer of them in the bottom of a triffle bowl. Spread enough ice cream to make a 2 inch layer. Drop the M&M's ontop of the ice cream until the ice cream is all covered. Then drizzle the Magic Shell over the top to cover the M&M's. Repeat these steps until the triffle bowl is filled. Place in freezer for 1 hour and serve immediately. To garnish: Take a doughnut hole and stick a tooth pick through it and then skewer one M&M of your favorite color on the top of the tooth pick. Center on the triffle. Enjoy!
