For a very long time, if I had to bring a dish to a family function, I would bring Four Layer Delight. It is oh so yummy and looks a bit more difficult than it is. That made me feel like a little Martha. LOL!
Can you see the layers? It is actually much easier to see them while it is still in the glass dish, but who cares if you can see them as long as you can taste them? LOL!

I have made this recipe many times and it is delicious! The only difference in my recipe, is that I don’t add vanilla to the chocolate pudding. I would highly recommend your readers to try this.
