Chocolate Delight for 1

One of my favorite desserts is a little baby called Chocolate Delight. It's basically chocolate pudding, cool whip (mixed with cream cheese I think) and graham cracker crumbs layered in a pan. Well recently I found pudding cups at Food Lion called Kozy Shack. Super yummy and healthy! That's a rare combo with prepackaged snacks.

I was inspired to try out a snack for 1 using the pudding after a friend created a Strawberry Pudding Pie for 1. And so, Chocolate Delight for 1 was born.



Ingredients:
1 Kozy Shack pudding 100 calories
2tsp graham cracker crumbs 16 calories
1TBS cool whip 13 calories
(total 129 calories)

Put the graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of a small dish. Pour one entire cup of pudding over the graham crackers. Sprinkle the top with some graham cracker crumbs and top with cool whip. Enjoy!
