    REMEMBER: To only use either the vanilla OR coconut puddings. Tho it wouldn't hurt to use 1 of each. I also use the sugar-free puddings.

    For a more Hawaiian taste: Add 1 - 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, WELL drained; along with 1 tsp. rum extract. [In this case, I would use the coconut pudding]
