Great presentation and easy to make by using instant pudding and frozen whipped topping.


Serves 6
Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 package (3.9 oz.) chocolate instant pudding (can use sugar free)
2 cups milk
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup whipped topping, thawed (can use low fat or fat free)
2 drops red or green food coloring
10 peppermint candies, (green and white or red and white), roughly crushed

Instructions:

Beat pudding mix, milk and extract with whisk 2 min.
Whisk whipped topping and food coloring until blended.
Layer pudding alternately with whipped topping in 6 parfait glasses. Top with peppermint candies. Refrigerate 15 min.

Cooking Wiser:

To make a healthier version use sugar free pudding and low fat whipped topping.

Use 1% milk to make the pudding.

To save time, make pudding and color and flavor the whipped pudding the day before. Assemble when ready to serve.
