Simple Elegance with Pudding

This is a simple way to turn the ordinary into something special. One of my favorite things about it is how inexpensive it is!





What you need:
Fancy glasses (champagne, wine, iced tea goblets; whatever you have)
2 boxes of pudding, 4 serving size, two different flavors
¼ cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup white chocolate chips


What to do:
1. Clean and dry your glasses.


2. Print hearts, unless you want to free hand it. Do at least twice as many as you are making, due to breakages.
3. Lightly grease wax paper on baking sheet, using Crisco. Place printed hearts under wax paper
4. Melt chocolate in microwave stopping to thoroughly stir every 10 seconds. Pour chocolate into a baggie and cut a small part of the tip off. Pipe ½ of the hearts. They should be thick enough to not be too brittle. Repeat with white chocolate. My white chocolate would not melt so I used red Wilton Candy Melts. Place in fridge.



5. Make the pudding (I used Chocolate Fudge and White Chocolate). Do not refrigerate! Pour into separate quart baggies. Cut the tip, about ¼ inch, off.
6. Layer pudding in glasses (I used champagne flutes).
7. Take hearts out of fridge. Working quickly place on top of pudding. If the hearts start to get soft put back in fridge for awhile.



8. Chill in fridge until ready to serve.

Alternatives/Tips:
A. Put crumbled brownies between two layers of pudding for a delicious trifle.
B. Add sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or other candies on top.
C. Use Wilton Candy Melts (found at Wal-Mart or Craft stores) to make varying color hearts.
D. Layer in a nice bowl instead of glasses.
E. Dye light colored pudding to make different colors.
F. Two boxes of pudding fill 7 champagne flutes.
