My mother, who didn't own a cookbook, created this recipe. She fussed over ingredients until she was satisfied with the results. With nine children to feed on a limited budget, she came up with many variations of the same dish. This dessert was a special treat. -Mary McMenamin, Spring City, Pennsylvania

Are there really 100 carbs in one serving of this pudding? WOW!! I could not eat this and be able to eat anything else for the rest of the day. The only other thing I see to do is make home made pudding with splenda and try to bring down the carbs. Sounds good, but who can afford the carbs?
