Ingredients
2 packages (1.4 ounces each) instant low-calorie chocolate pudding mix
3 1/2 cups skim milk
1/4 cup peanut butter
15 graham cracker rectangles
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Pour the chocolate pudding mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the skim milk and whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the pudding is smooth and begins to thicken.
Add the peanut butter to the pudding and beat well with a mixer or whisk until fully combined and creamy.
Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan with 7 or 8 graham cracker rectangles, breaking pieces to fit as needed.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly over the graham crackers and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Arrange the remaining 7 or 8 graham cracker rectangles on top of the pudding layer, breaking pieces to fit as needed.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
Remove from the freezer and cut into 15 equal squares using a sharp knife. Use a thin spatula to lift each bar from the pan.
Store the bars in a freezer-safe plastic bag or airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Comments
This recipe hits hard on availability and cost: pudding mix, skim milk, peanut butter, and graham crackers are staples at every Charlotte grocer, and the total food cost runs under $8 for fifteen bars, roughly 50 cents per serving. The honest time is closer to 20 minutes of actual work plus a 4-hour freeze, which the stated 255 minutes (4 hours 15 minutes) captures fairly, though a reader expecting a quick dessert will find the freeze non-negotiable. The bars are forgiving, require no attention during setting, and reheat or serve straight from the freezer without issue, making them solid for families or meal prep. The one drag is that peanut butter and chocolate are good but not distinctive—this is reliable rather than memorable, and the pudding-mix shortcut trades flavor depth for convenience.
