**Delicious!! I love that you can change this one up too. You could do a chocolate cake mix with chocolate pudding and chocolate chips, or you could try a white cake mix with banana cream pudding and chocolate chips. You are only limited by your imagination! **

**I got this recipe from the Menus 4 Moms website.**


**Thoughts~Not bad. Definitely worth trying. It is a nice change of pace from plain ol' green beans, but also, not a recipe I would want to eat all the time.**
