Ingredients

  • 1 box Strawberry Pudding Mix
  • 1 tub Whipped Topping
  • 1 C Milk
  • Your Favorite Treats to Dip

Instructions

  • First, pour your whipped topping into a large bowl. You are going to use the whole container so be sure your bowl is big enough and allows enough room for mixing. 
    Nest, pour the package of Strawberry Pudding Mix into the bowl.
    The pour 1 cup of milk into the bowl. Do now skimp or skip on the milk. This is what will help thin out the dip.
    Be sure to mix together well, scraping the sides as you go. You can use a mixer on low or mix it by hand. It's up to you. 
    Take your serving bowl and pour the dip into it. 
    Then take some of your favorite treats and spread them out on a platter with your bowl of dip in the middle. To help create a fun, Valentine's Day theme I used fresh strawberries, chocolate cookies, and a few other cookies. But you could use more fruit, chunks of chocolate or even some jumbo marshmallows. It's all up to you. 
    Once you have it arranged in a way you like, it's time to serve it to the guest. If the party is not for a while I would place the fruit and dip in the fridge until about 10 minutes before you want to serve it.
