This recipe didn't really have any times or servings listed..so I guessed. I use a 9 x 13 pan, some people like a bigger serving.(Like the girls dad ;P) As far as cook times, you can make the crust the day before if you want. And prep is really up to the person.
It's good. Just make it! :)


Ive had this before...many times... its always a hit every where Ive had it....This is really good!


I LOVE this, never had the recipe though.. always someone else made it.. Yippeeee I have it now!


So glad to have this recipe! Have eaten it before, but never had the recipe! Thanks for posting.


I've had this before, but made with Pistachio Pudding instead of chocolate. It's always a hit. Thanks for posting it.


I never thought of changing up the flavors of the pudding. I can't pass on chocolate...


This sounds great just the way it is. Its an icebox cake recipe and seems like a good one. I can't wait to try it! Have fun with your girls on Halloween!

My mom always made this recipe, too. And I've made it for potlucks and parties. Everyone always loves it.


We used to have this all the time when I was a kid and we all loved it. I had forgotten all about it until now. It's time to make it again...thanks so much for the memories and the recipe. Gets a high 5 from me!
