Ingredients

• 10 pieces Twinkies
• 5.1 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups Cold milk
• 8 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
• 0.25 cups Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional)
• 8 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice each Twinkie in half lengthwise and lay the halves, cream side up, in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. You may need to cut and fit the pieces to fully cover the bottom of the dish.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until smooth and the mixture begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the prepared pudding evenly over the Twinkie layer in the baking dish, spreading it with a spatula to ensure even coverage.

Step 4

Spread the whipped topping over the pudding layer, creating a smooth and even layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the top with your preferred garnish, such as sprinkles or crushed nuts, for added texture and decoration. Add maraschino cherries if desired.

Step 6

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
