Make the Most of This Recipe
Substitution
Do you like the flavor of white chocolate? Use white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix instead of vanilla.
Success
If you don't have a bowl big enough to hold this crowd-size dessert, two smaller bowls will work just as well.
Special Touch
For an extra-special treat, decorate with chocolate-dipped orange segments. Dip half of each orange segment into melted chocolate and place on a waxed paper-covered cookie sheet. Refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes or until chocolate is set. Just before serving, arrange dipped oranges on top of dessert.
