Dessert
"I got this surprisingly yummy recipe from a former co-worker who informed me that this is called, simply, DESSERT. It's very adaptable. I've made it with butterscotch pudding and crushed Heath Bar and, for Christmas last year, chocolate pudding and crushed green and white striped spearmint candies. Could not be easier, and people seem to universally like it, despite themselves."

I've been making this dessert about 30 years. I've seen this recipe in many cookbooks, it is called Chocolate Delight. It is delightful, yes, everybody does seem to enjoy this. -
mixed pudding mix with milk as instructions stated and you can guess what happened. -

I make this recipe by adding chopped pecans to the crust before baking. I use chocolate pudding. We call it sex in a pan because it is so-o-o good!

My husband made this last night for church today. Everyone loved it. They loved it so much we didn't get to try it. I'll have to make one for home I guess. Thanks for a well received and easy to make dessert.

Hi! I'm a mom to a four and a half year old boy and I work full time. Recently divorced...I don't have the time or money I used to have to plan and cook meals. But I still love to eat! I generally eat very healthy food, but sometimes indulge in old fashioned comfort food...as my recipe collection attests to.
