OMG. I should have thought of that. But, never crossed my mind. Lori

I don't know where she got the name. She used a Pyrex glass baking dish. I've used a metal one as well. Line an 11-by-7-inch dish with graham crackers. Leave them whole, if possible, although you can break them to fit the edges of the pan. On top of them, pour a 4-ounce package of cook and serve chocolate pudding, which has been prepared according to package directions. Do it while the pudding is hot. You can use instant pudding, but cooked is preferred, since it soaks into the graham crackers better. On top of the pudding, make another layer of graham crackers. On top of the second graham cracker layer, pour a 4-ounce package of either butterscotch or vanilla cook and serve pudding, again, while the pudding is hot. Top with crumbled graham crackers. Chill and serve, with whipped cream or cool whip, if desired. My mom tried putting chocolate pudding as the top layer, but it was too heavy and doing it this way worked better. I've made this also. If you use an 8-inch square pan, use two 3-ounce packages of pudding instead of 4 ounces. I think you will use about a half of a box of graham crackers. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
