  1. This is the second year I've made this for a pot luck dinner and I'm having to triple it. Obviously, it's a hit. I always add chocolate chips into the whipped topping layer, also. If you don't have time to make the brownies, buy premade ones and cut them up. It works that way, too!
     
  2. I took this to a potluck at work and it got rave reviews. My boss was even asked if I was married because of this dish = ) Easy to make and looks great.
     
  3. We ate every last bite in about 20 minutes! I brought to my nephews birthday party and it was totally enjoyed by everyone there! The kids couldn't wait to dig into it! I used regular pudding as I like it better than the instant. I also added Snicker's candy pieces throughout the layers because they are my favorite candy bar. Will definately make this every chance I get! Excellent! Thanks for sharing Rachel! Pam
     
  4. This was so good I couldn't stop myself from eating more. I made them in indiviual cups for easier serving, the turned out great.
     
  5. Wow. This was so easy and was so good! My daughter, miss fussy pants walked into the kitchen in a daze after eating hers and said, "mom, i think this is the best thing i've ever eaten!" and on and on it went...the other half loved it too and it was very easy for him to take in his lunch too! Thanks for a great recipe for a great dessert in no time flat! :)
