Notes
Note: If unable to find caramel pudding use one of these two options:
- Substitute 2 (3.4 oz) boxes cheesecake pudding mix instead. Use 8 oz caramel syrup or ice cream topping in place of one cup of half & half to make the pudding then, proceed with the recipe as written.
- Use 2(3.4 oz) boxes butterscotch flavored instant pudding.
