I make it & put it in a CLEAN-NEW plant dish. Put gummy worms & a plastic flower in it. People always love it

BUTTER??? I don't know about anyone else but I'm not a huge fan of eating uncooked cold butter in my pudding! YUK!! Why do you even need the butter?? I'm confused... anyways I dropped the butter and used all reduced fat, low sugar ingredients and no one could tell otherwise! It was nice and light after a meal.

"TRY IT FROZEN". I have been making this for many years and my family prefers it frozen like ice cream. "YUM YUM"

I can't wait to make this for my grandchildren when they come for a sleepover; when they ask what are we having for dessert and the answer will shock them!!!!

This dessert is excellent and so easy to make, it's a keeper for sure. It's one my family makes whenever we want a special dessert and we will be making it many more times.

I put the worms in the freezer and when you take them out they move on top of the desert I also use light cream cheese 1% milk I use no added suger choc wafers and dream whip for the whipped topping really good for Diabetics when the adjustments are made I haven't used a artificial sweetening for the suger but I would think it would be ok It makes 20 servings so I just use a scant cup of suger

sooo delish! Layer in a cute wheelbarrow for an extra cute presentation! Also, add gummy worms and artificial flowers!

It's a great dessert that kids love. We always decorate ours with gummy worms. They love it.

I like the sound of this, and can see how it COULD be healthy if one used light or fat-free choices for the cream cheese, butter, milk, sugar free pudding mix, and frozen topping. Why not put that in the original recipe and then call it healthy?

I was just wondering... How does this recipe qualify as healthy?? Although, I'm sure it's delicious.
