This is a winner where ever I take it. It's an oldie, probably from the early 80's. Maybe late 70's. In any case there is never left overs. I found it best to make it a day ahead so all the flavors set. It needs at least 4 hours of chill time. Try mixing up the pudding flavors for variety. Enjoy!!!
