1 (4-serving) pkg sugar-free chocolate cook-and-serve pudding mix

1 (4-serving) pkg sugar-free cherry jello

1½ cups water

1 (16 oz) can red cherries, packed in water, undrained

1 tsp. brandy extract

1 (4-serving) package sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix

2/3 cup Nonfat Dry Milk Powder

¾ cup fat free whipped topping

3 whole reduced fat graham crackers, crushed into crumbs

1 Tbsp mini-chocolate chips (optional)

In a medium saucepan, combine dry cook-and-serve pudding, dry cherry jello, and ½ cup water. Stir in un-drained cherries. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently but often, until mixture thickens and starts to boil. Remove from heat. Stir in brandy extract. Allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine dry instant pudding, dry milk powder, and remaining 1 cup water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in full 1/3 cup whipped topping. Add cooled cherry mixture. Mix gently to combine. In 6 serving dishes, spoon about 1/3 cup pudding mixture into each one. Sprinkle each with 1 Tbsp. graham cracker crumbs over pudding. Spoon a full ¼ cup pudding mixture over crumbs, then top each with 1 Tbsp. whipped topping. Sprinkle each with ½ teaspoon chocolate chips. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
