Instructions

8. To assemble parfait layers: In serving glasses or bowls, layer vanilla pudding, caramel corn, and whipped cream. Repeat layers as desired.

Tips

• For extra crunch, store caramel corn in an airtight container before assembling.
• Use store-bought pudding to save time.
• Add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for extra flavor.
