Four-Layer Chocolate Dessert
With creamy layers in a big 13x9-in. pan, this simple dessert is tailor-made for a buffet table. I like to add a sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds on top for the finishing touch. —Linda Knoll, Jackson, Michigan

I can only make this when I have a crowd coming or I will eat the ENTIRE THING. Chocolate Cherry Bars have been my #1 dessert for potlucks for 35 years. This recipe has taken its place. I use one box of vanilla and one box of chocolate pudding because that's how the first recipe I saw had it. I also substitute fat free/sugar free/lite for every ingredient possible (pudding, creamed cheese, milk, cool whip) and it's still delicious!
I prepared this for a neighborhood group and had to make copies of the recipe for everyone - made it exactly as directed - easy to prepare and simply delicious - a huge hit
This is one of my husband's favorite desserts! It's easy and so yummy! I love the buttery crust!
This is one of our go to desserts. My favorite pudding combinations is to use one cheesecake pudding mix with 1 chocolate. Great combo.
We call this striped delight. My family loves this. My sister in law makes it for almost every big family gathering.
This is one of our favorite recipes. I especially like lemon flavored pudding mix, and my hubby likes butterscotch. It is easy, refreshing and is a crowd pleaser.
I too love this recipe! Both my family and church ladies make this a lot. I especially like to make it with lemon flavored pudding mix, and my hubby loves the butterscotch.
Love this recipe, it has been a family favorite for 50 years.
