My mother in-law made this recipe and to be honest I was not a fan when she told me about it. However, once I had a piece I was SOLD! This is my new favorite dessert. I am always requesting this receipe to my mother in-law.

Hi Paula, Wanted to let you know that I had to google to get this recipe and your Shore Is Good Seafood Dip. Food Network has some kind of problem and the recipes aren't coming up. The page shows the photos, but not the ingredients or recipe. I tried to email them to let them know, but have received no reply or correction. I enjoy your happy attitude and your warm family relationship. You go girl!

My neighbor made this and my husband loved it. I never heard of it or tasted it before, but it was very good. I got out my laptop and with a little searching on your site I found it. Now I know where it came from and how to make it. I never asked for the recipe she used because thanks to you I already have it. Her secret is out!! Thanks Paula!!

I have been making this exact dessert for the last 21 years. I use unsweetened baking choc squares and it turns out great. Everyone wonders how its made and wants the receipe. They can't believe it's so easy. The favorite dessert (cake) for all my kids and grandkids birthdays!

A lady brought this to my home for a lunch after church. It was gond along with the "Not yo Mama's Banana Pudding", in no time. I'm planning on making both for Easter. So good!

I have been making this recipe for several years. My son requested this for his 9th Birthday party. Instead of the frosting recipe, I opted to use a container of milk chocolate frosting. Remove the lid and metal, and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute and pour over cake, then refrigerate - it will harden......We love this recipe!

I made this using sugar free pudding, cool whip, and vanilla wafers. I used sugar free chocolate pudding with added cocoa, butter, and vanilla flavoring for the icing. Everyone loved it, even those who weren't diabetics. Paula, you really made me a star with this recipe. Thanks, crafterjenkins
