Delish! The bottom layer tastes like pecan sandies and the other layers are like a creamy, dreamy trip to heaven! Thank you very much!

Any mix of puddings will work (including the butterscotch mixed with chocolate...Mmmm). The pistachio pudding is great for St. Patty's day and use green sprinkles on top of whip cream.

This is great. We call it Chocolate yum yums. Take out the Chocolate pudding and put in cherry pie filling, and it's cherry yum yums.

This is delicious. My aunt makes this and calls it Guadalupe River pudding. One of my favorite desserts
