This recipe calls for 2 pkgs (1 oz each) of instant vanilla pudding. The smallest pkg I could find is 3.4 oz.

This is wonderful. My first try @ Trifle and I'm so glad I found this recipe. My family raved about it. Very easy to make and it looks so elegant. I will experiment with other Jello flavors when I make this again (and again.....). A must try!

This was very good and alot of food, but couldn't find the cranberry flavor jello, so i used raspberry instead.

This was very delicious!! I made mine with Raspberry jello as that was the flavor we had on hand. I also only added the mandarin oranges on the top rather than throughout -- it was very tasty!!

I wanted to make something quick and easy for a family holiday function. This was a hit in every way. Not only quick and easy, but the family loved it. I will keep this at the top of my list to make again.

I have made this recipe time and time again and ALWAYS get rave reviews. I usually use fresh strawberries and blueberries. My coworkers expect me it everytime we have an office celebration and I don't mind because it is so simple to make. Everyone always asks for the recipe.

This is an absolutely AWESOME recipe. I have made it many times with rave reviews. The cinnamon is like the secret ingredient that gives it a wonderful taste, but yet you can't tell what it is. Also keeps well in the fridge, so great for leftovers and no waste. Not that there is usually much left (I make double batches though)

AWESOME!!! We made it for a family meal and since then we have made it 3 more times. Oh and I am back on the website to get the ingredients yet again for a church dinner. We have lots of diabetics and overweight people to find the best foods to serve and sometimes the taste is lost using special fat free or sugar free items but this one retains the flavor!!!
