Notes

Notes
Pudding - depending on the thickness you like, you may need to add 2 boxes of pudding mix

Food coloring - gel food coloring works best. Depending on how dark you want the pudding, you may need to make it darker than expected because when you add the whipped topping it will lighten the pudding color.
