The first tiime I made this recipe I didn't use the sugar-free instand vanilla pudding mix. I did use low-fat coolwhip. It turned out very well. The second time I made it, I did use the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix. I ended up throwing it out, trying it again and throwing it out again. i thought I might have let it sit too long the first time. I just went to store and bought regular pudding mix. The sugar-free kept giving me tiny little bumps that wouldn't dissolve. The smooth texture wasn't there.

Wow! You can't tell that this is low cal! Everyone loved this. I loved how easy and fast it came together. I used my trifle bowl for this and it looked lovely too. Next time I am going to use Heath bars instead of Butterfingers (personal preference).

It would be very helpful if your Nutritional Content included the amount of sugar grams in each recipe posted for those of us counting sugar grams. Thanks, vkaestner
