Hey y'all! 

So this past Easter, my father really wanted a dessert to compliment all of the fancy dishes that we were making for the holiday. Though he didn't say as much until that Sunday. 

Hence a mad dash into the pantry shelves to see what in the world I could scrounge up to make a dessert. We usually keep a stock of staple ingredients, but there is always one or more ingredients that are missing whenever I want to do a recipe. 

Reaching through to the back, I managed to find some boxed vanilla and chocolate pudding that had been in there for quite some time. So I pulled that out. 

But, pudding by itself just seemed bland. 

Since we had both vanilla and chocolate, I decided to go with a marble-like look. But, I needed a vehicle to hold that without mixing them totally together. So, I took some inspiration from my CPR cookies and my Sweet and Sassy dessert and make a crusted pudding dessert. And since we had a large box of Nature Valley™ granola bars that no one was eating...they made a perfect crust! 

And so I set to work. 

Now it didn't all go according to plan. I did burn the chocolate pudding (a little), the crust wasn't nearly high enough and as you can see, the design is rather sloppy. However, it marbled really well in the bowls, and it tasted pretty good! So, I decided to share it ;)
