My mother has been making these as long as I can remember, as part of her Christmas cookie trays. They are my absolute favorite and a staple for my Christmas baking as well. Since the recipe isn't clear, you DO NOT want the instant vanilla pudding; use the kind you cook. These are definitely a treat!

Could someone let me know if this recipe uses instant pudding mix or the kind you cook???

This recipe is fantastic! I took them to a party and everyone raved about them, and wanted the recipe. We think they are even better frozen, especially in the summer.

These are the bomb! I also have this recipe and it's great. These always go quickly when served at a pot luck or other gathering. You really need to make these!
