I made this dessert for a potluck. I wasn't too impressed with it. Was I supposed to mix the pudding mixture with milk? The recipe doesn't say to use it.

This is a really good summer side item. However it makes a lot for a family/party of 5-10 half of this recipe is all you will need.

This was the best dessert I have ever made! This dish was so easy and simple to put together. I say it is SOOOOOO easy, and that is coming from a ten year old.

Was searching St. Patty's Day recipes and stumbled across this one. Sounds a lot like Watergate Salad (on this site) that I rated in 12/06 as 5 stars. I bet this is delicious as well! A Cook in StL, MO.

This has become my staple when bringing something to a party. I've skipped the layers and just mixed it all together too.

One of my family's favorites. Growing up, my mom typically made it for a salad with the meal, using only one tub of Cool-Whip and no cherries. Very good no matter how you make this.
