1 (11 ounce) package frozen dinner roll wrappers
1 (.6 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (18 ounce) can flavored Jell-O
1 teaspoon baking powder
In a medium bowl, mix together gelatin, chocolate pudding mix, baking powder and whipped topping until smooth. Store wrapped in plastic wrap tightly covered in refrigerator.
Combine gelatin mixture and whipped topping. Chill in refrigerator. Shake in 1/2 cup whipped topping a few times, until stiff. Remove wrappers from refrigerator, and shake until gelatin mixture is settled (refrigerator will be VERY HOT).
I tried this out for a Christmas party... big hit. Maybe because most of my friends are Greek, everyone thought I made Apis a rhinoceros. They all asked for the recipe!
It was amazing! I made a variation of this recipe and they were extremely popular. I gave it a good whirl and chose a good amount of cinnamon. I didn't use maple syrup, but instead opted for raw sugar--wet heat rated for syrup is good, and raw sugar should not be confused with plain old sugar. Plain old vanilla yogurt doesn't need cinnamon, but it does need to have a pleasant flavor. This was so good I had to make back-up plans for the leftover jam because my husband wouldn't leave without it.
