Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

 

  • ½ cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until smooth. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

 

  • Stir gently before serving. Garnish with extra chocolate chips or nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Nut-Free Option: Omit the nuts for an allergy-friendly version.
  • Extra Fruity: Add sliced bananas, maraschino cherries, or mandarin oranges.
  • Different Chocolate Base: Use chocolate Greek yogurt instead of pudding for a tangy twist.

 

  • Crunchy Twist: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or Oreos on top before serving.
