Pudding Layer Dessert

This recipe has been in my family since I was a young girl.  I have made it for many occasions, including our homeschool group's dessert competition, of which it won two years in row!  It is always a requested favorite.  I decided to take it to our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner at our parish tonight.  I am pretty sure that I will not be bringing any home!

Recently, I passed this recipe along to a friend who needed something to take to her Easter Sunday dinner with family.  She called me back the next day and told me that a couple of people wanted the recipe!  Like I said: always a hit!  So I thought I would share . . .
