This is one of my all-time fav desserts...so simple, but the flavors go together so well!! You cannot go wrong with this recipe - everyone loves it. Thanks for reminding me about it! I will have to make it next time we have company (otherwise I would eat the whole pan myself...)


Sounds interesting (good interesting! *grin*)

But what's a 'stick' of chopped nuts?


Oops, supposed to be a cup. Thanks for letting me know that was on there!


Hi, I'm an Australia. Can you tell me what Cool Whip is, please?


This is a great recipe Jill.Do I have to chill or freeze the second layer before adding the third layer??...Thanks for sharing.


Hi Jill..Can you tell me the weight of each pudding packs in grams? Is it ok to substitute the margarine with butter



You can chill the second layer a little but it will make it harder to spread over the crust. I usually use two of the 99 gm (3.5 oz.) net weight pudding packs. After you mix them with the milk, let them thicken a little bit before spreading over the second layer. It should be fine to use melted butter instead of margarine for the crust.
