My grandma used to make this at holidays when I was a kid. She also made potato candy 🍫❤️🎄I loved them both!

Boy, that one took me back in time. My aunt always brought her chocolate delight whenever we had big family gatherings. I remember she used peanuts in her crust, and it seems like she added gramcrackers to her flour crust mixture as well. It was a family favorite. She made a blueberry one too, which was very good, but the chocolate was always my favorite. 😋

Your authentic way of creating with store bought ingredients is why I am a sub. Water from wine almost. It's like my late Mother. Don't have that, let's use this. When feeding a family, creativity supersedes the recipe. And never forget to thank Mom for dinner. Thanks Tammy.

Chocolate pudding is my favorite. I could eat half of that by myself! 😋 🥰

I like ALL of them! Although, I'd rank lemon #1. Love you, love Chris! Thank you for the recipe and especially the tips you gave us.

My mother made the lemon one and it was really good. I have only had the chocolate once or twice, but it was really good as well.

i had this recipe from my late mother in law in 1975. but i lost it so its nice to have it once again. i will chop my pecans more like in my late MIL recipe had me doin. but i love the pistachio the most...i forgot i can use pistachi puddin too i just googled the temp for pyrex dishes and it is 450 degrees F. whew. thats great.

Ohhh Man!!!! Tammy you Always make The BEST Desserts 🍮 that make me want to make 👩‍🍳and run n Hide to keep for Myself😜😋But I guess I’ll share the Goodness with my family and friends. I plan to make it for Easter Sunday lunch 👩‍🍳😋😋😋😋🦩

In southwestern PA,, we call this The Next Best Thing to Robert Redford. Soooo good!!!

My Nana made this dessert and called it Dream Dessert! I love it! It's so light, fluffy and not super sweet! Great summer time dessert!

Yummy! Perfect Easter dessert. I am mom to a chocolate kiss and a lemon drop, haha. I think I would split the base recipe in two and go from there? One large pudding box per flavour? Excellent tip about a glass dish. I didn't know that. I am going into your store to find that mixer you're using today. The one I have is the pits. It's supposed to have six speeds. The first one I purchased had two speeds (even though it was supposed to have six): whip it and whip it good. So I returned it and purchased a second (the same as it was the only style they had and I really needed a hand mixer that day.) The second one does not perform like yours does - definitely not a low setting like that! And, not sure about yours because because you set the mixer on the rim of the bowl, but when I set mine down in-between scraping and adding ingredients, it falls on the beaters because the motor isn't in the tail, it's up front, so it's top/forward heavy. Back in the day, the motors were in the rear so you could just sit the mixer on end. So frustrating, 'today'. Thanks again, Tammy and Chris! God Bless

Hi Tammy & Chris! Hearing the magic words "chocolate" and "dessert" was all took for my crew to head to Publix to pick up a couple of the needed ingredients. From the sound of things in the kitchen, looks like we'll be enjoying a taste of another of your delectable desserts in a little while! Thanks so much for another video, y'all! 🌞

My favorite flavor was always Coconut Cream, My Families favorite has always been Butterscotch. All the flavors are delicious.

I've had this at a "home-style" diner in my town-yours looks much better than theirs, which lacks the pecans in the crust and the cream cheese layer. Thanks for sharing such a fun, simple recipe, Miss Tammy!

I use lemon or banana n put crushed pecans on to, I put in 3 C milk to set up fast

Made this many times always with chocolate pudding. My family loves it.

My mom usually made blueberry delight.Its all good Not much I dont like,,,😃👍

Hi Tammy!!! I wondered if you could teach us how to make Panna Cotta. I’ve never made it, but sure wld like to 👩‍🍳👌🏻😋

Love this ! Thanks Tammy for bringing this back into my life!♥️

Oh yes!,,,, that’s my FAVORITE desert!! Always has been and always will be. Thats just how good it is. Yummmmmmy. 😊 Appreciate you two.

Hi Tammy!!! This dessert looks mighty delicious. I will make it one day. Sending this to my family. I know they would enjoy this also...YUMS!!!...Great Video!!!.. 🦋

I’ve made them all and my favorite is the lemon. It’s just so fresh tasting!

I have made this dessert for many years and it is always a hit. I always bake mine on 350 degrees and it does fine. I normally use a glass baking dish so that works better for me.

Your’s is richer than my recipe, I’ve always used Vanilla Pudding as my white layer. It works but I’ll certainly try the cream cheese. 🌻

@@joycemiraglia280she was not being rude but, with kindness, I feel you are being unkind in return to her feedback which was complimentary. She stated with kindness and respect - and I agree that she loved the channel and recipes but misses the Bible verses. Tammy is a Christian and with our Lord she stands. Also, loved the old intro, it just got you in the mood and is like changing a major theme song of a long running TV show. The other one spoke of “Tammy was going to show you how to cook it up like Mama used to do” (grandma in my case as well). It was catchy and made you remember. This intro is generic though Tammy is great. God bless you Tammy and Chris @collardvalleycooks

my favorite is the lemon lush, using one box of lemon and one box of vanilla/ I think for St. Paddy's day, I would still use the chocolate, but use 2/3 cup of Bailey's Irish Cream with 3 1/3 cup milk

Hi Tammy! I have made this for years in several flavors. Chocolate was the first and is so yummy! I have also done lemon and butterscotch, both are wonderful. I substitute walnuts for pecans as I am allergic to pecans. The name of my recipe is "Sex in a Pan". I will now call it Chocolate Delight!

My family has made this for years too. We love it!

I know I will love this chocolate is one of my favorite dessert. I sure will make this I looks delicious. Love You ❤❤❤❤

Hi Tammy that looks so delicious. Thanks you for sharing this with me 😋 ❤️ ❤❤❤❤.

This chocolate delight is so delicious I love and I will be making again. Everyone loves it to I gave them the recipe and they said they are going to make to make it. Love you and your channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you for reminding me about the temp restriction for glass dishes. I will definitely be making this and while watching you was thinking how pretty that would be in my glass so the layers would be visible.

We like coconut too

I live in Nebraska & we keep our house at 62 degrees! 😮Gotta keep moving otherwise I get chilled. 😊 This desert sounds amazing!

Hi Tammy! So luscious looking! Fabulous dessert to take to a gathering ❤ Thanks so much 😊

That's very much like the Chocolate Lusch I made in the 70's except I used Walnuts in crust, spread the cool whip mixture on the cooled crust then the pudding topping. I then sprinkled finely chopped walnuts on the top, delicious!! Melaney from SoCal

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant the cool whip cream cheese mix on the crust, then pudding and topped with cool whip like you did. I always put finely chopped walnuts on top too. Again, we called it Chocolate Lusch.

I have had the chocolate version and boy I could eat it every day. Soooo good. I’d like to try coconut or butterscotch too.

The pistachio one sounds good to me. I love pistachios and pistachio pudding, although the Chocolate Delight sounds and looks super yummy!

Hi tammy and family Thanks for sharing Looks delicious

Made this several times its so delicious but I use walnuts in the crust.

I would’ve rinsed of the offset spatula, and used it for all the layers. No sense in dirtying another one!

Watching you scrape the bowls made me grin.never realized what a spatula was for growing up.mother wouldn't use one in order for us kids to eat batters for cakes icing etc.

When you said the crust would bake at 450 for 20 minutes, l was wondering if that was too high a temperature 😮

I had something similar to this when I was a kid...it was called fat man's delight....I think it had coconut and strawberry in the layers. The crust was like a shortbread with chocolate chips and pecans.

Ive done it with bananas and vanilla and banana pudding and it was soo good but my favprite is still the chocolate.

Looks delicious I like lemon real well

This is one of my favorite desserts.

If I use oreos for one layer do I use the whole cookie or just the cho. Part.please let me know.thanks .❤❤

I first had this dessert in my mid twenties and continue until now. It has been a hit every time. Thanks Tammy!!

We call this Mandy Fowler's chocolate thang. She introduced us to this and she was a Southern Lady.

Kathie says… How Cute!!! I LOVE it!!! 🥰

My favorite dessert. I make it instead of a cake for my birthday.

When we made this it was called: "7 Layer Chocolate Delight" ... and it was Delicious, (Because we made it with Homemade Pudding or the Jello Pudding that must be cooked). (... and I make and have Homemade Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Beans from Madagascar) 🚫 No Instant Pudding was allowed in our House, lol, (My Parents were Professionals, Owned Restaurants all ther lives.) The pecan crust 1) The Cream Cheese layer, 2) The French Vanilla Pudding layer 3) A layer of Whipped Cream 4) The Chocolate Pudding layer 5) another layer of Cream Cheese 6) a layer of either regular Vanilla or Chocolate Pudding 7) Layer of Whipped Cream Sprinkle top with Slivered Almonds, or Shaved Dark Chocolate, or both ... 🏅 It takes longer but there is no comparison, I've tasted the Instant version and it is not close. 🔑 We use plastic wrap over the pudding to prevent the skin that forms. 🔑It's best to prepare the puddings in the morning or a day ahead, and then it goes Quick Chill 3 hrs minimum before serving. You must; Treat Yourself to this Original Version and ENJOY!!! Beth Tennessee, USA

Looks great. These kinds of goodies are so very good ❤

My mama used to call this, "Nickerbocker Pie". It was always a HIT. It is crazy 'versatile'. One can use just about ANYTHING for the layer that tops the cream cheese layer. I had a fresh pineapple that I prepared then made a 'curd' with it. I poured that curd over the cream cheese layer then topped it with more whipped topping. YOIKS! Wow! And that CRUST!!! Imma STOP making regular pie crusts & just use this crust for ALL my pies. THE. BEST! Thank you for your channel & for sharing these great recipes.

Thanks for your wonderful tips, Tammy!!! I’ve been holding a spatula wrong for 50 years!!!♥️

Hey Tammy! Enjoy your channel sooooo much! I made this with the Dove pudding and it was lumpy too! Maybe it was the Dove pudding and not the Aldi!!

Hi Tammy & Chris that’s a beautiful desert. 🤤 Love me some dark chocolate. Anybody else like dark choc but not choc milkshakes or ice cream? Plz share that pistachio one. Key lime if & when y’all get the time. Thank you God Bless you both great camera work Mr. Chris Tammy you’re so talented my dear❣️🤗

We love this dessert! I grew up calling it 'Robert Redford"❤

I've had pumpkin delight and it's really tasty!

We always called this "Carol's Refrigerator Dessert" after the cousin we got the recipe from 😅 So yummy!

Tammy, I keep my house at 66 too! I can’t stand heat blowing in my face. If I want more heat I throw wood in the fireplace. I love the smell of wood burning. I double my cream cheese mixture bc it’s my favorite layer! I’ve been making this dessert for years bc it is so delicious and my family loves it!

I love cool so my winter house temperature is 66 at night 67 to 68 if cold and rainy. Michigan our house was about 50 in the bedrooms and warmer in the living room and kitchen because we heated with wood burning stove and solar. South Georgia I need air conditioner on 67 at night 68 daytime. I know you might not believe it but Michigan was warmer than lots of days in South Georgia. Coldest place on earth in winter because of humidity. Houses are not insulated as well.

Hope you are doing much better Tammy. Bless you🙏🏻 This looks delicious!😋

I make this only mine is all vegan. It's great for potlucks.

Love your cooking and your narrative Tammy. I’m from Canada 🇨🇦 and enjoy southern home cooking. I’ve seen that mixing fork in a local big box store kitchenware department and I’m going back to get me one. I’m hooked on that mixing fork after watching you demonstrate its ease of use. Thank-you for sharing! ❤🙋🏼‍♀️

Hi Tammy! Will you Please tell what Brand your Hand Mixer is? I am looking for one with a slow Speed as well. I tried looking in your store, but was unsuccessful finding it. I guess i wasn’t patient enough 🤷‍♀️. I got a Stand Mixer for Christmas 🎄 and the first try was Not good. The gear wld go out after a few seconds of it being on. So I was off to a Bad start with my recipe. I felt bad about it,,, I didn’t want to tell my son the machine was broken. Apparently, i was not the only one that had theirs not be any good. Tallie Faye said Her stand mixer did the Same thing too. They’re Only MACHINES I guess 🤦‍♀️. Better luck Next time Right? 😊

Hi Tammy. I’m looking for a hand mixer. I don’t do a lot of baking or cooking, but my old hand mixer has seen it’s better days & I’m ready for a new one. I think you said or I read that you are using a Bosch hand mixer, but which one? There are so many different models. Will you please provide a model number & link so I can purchase? I believe you said somewhere this was one of your most frequently asked questions. Thank you!

I have a recipe similar called chocolate lasagna. It uses ground up oreos and butter for the crust but no nuts (I can't eat nuts anymore). Another one I have is pumpkin lasagna which uses the blond oreos in the crust and a pumpkin filling. They are both delicious and whenever I make them for family reunion etc people always want the recipe for it.

My mother made butterscotch and it was delicious!

I’m glad you are filling much better Beautiful Lady ❤

Kathie says…I love this dessert!! Butterscotch is my favorite, but all of the flavors are great! I make this for St. Patrick’s Day every year, using Instant Pistachio Pudding with a little bit of green food coloring to bring a wee bit more of “Irish” out!!!

We loved making it with butter pecan pudding, that was in the 80's ,but they don't make that kind of pudding anymore. It always tasted like a fancy dessert. I wish if somebody would know how to make a instant butter pecan instant pudding recipe, I would love for them to give me a recipe to make that. That would be awesome and greatly appreciated, beautiful trip down memory lane. Thank you to anyone that can do that. 🎉 🎉 ❤ ❤ 😊 😊 😊

Hi Tammy from Akron, Ohio. Yes this is one of the best desserts!! Yes my momma is 93 ( her birthday is 4-14-24 and she will be 94) and she still cooks a big meal every Sunday and at least one Sunday a month mommy makes this dessert!! Sometimes chocolate and sometimes it’s pistachio!! They are both sooo good. May God keep on blessing you, Chris, and your channel. 🥰

This has been my family's favorite treat for more than 40 years. The recipe we have has a couple of minor differences, but, pretty much the same thing. Mom found the recipe in the local "church ladies" cookbook. It was called, "Next Best Thing To Robert Redford." I think I prefer the old name.

I love lemon anything!!! That chocolate looks yummy!!! God Bless Us All!!!

I know that's good, thanks for the heads up on buying the name brand pudding, some I find work okay some I have been very unhappy with.

Butterscotch

I love that intro the most!! Thanks for bringing it back!

My husband and I love this dessert. He likes it frozen. So I cut up several squares and freeze in Tupperware bowl. When my son was a senior the class was having a supper and the dessert was 4 layer chocolate dessert. My jib was to make this. My son is now 42. I pulled this recipe out for a family gathering at my house recently and made this. In my recipe it calls for a chocolate and a vanilla instant pudding mixed together. By the way I love your kitchen remodel. Hope your feeling better.

I like to top mine with crushed Heath (toffee) bits.

Enjoy, looks very good

If you don't own a 2.75 pan what size can I use

So glad you made this. My aunt used to make this and we always had her make it for family reunion dinners!! Now I have the recipe. Thanks

We made different flavors of this and it was so good. The crust really makes this desert. We called it layered delight

We make this with lemon pudding...Delicious

What were the amounts of ingredients for that smaller pan that you made later?

Chocolate for sure!

You can also make it with banana, which is one of my favorites. I used chopped walnuts in the crust. Used vanilla pudding and put a layer of sliced bananas on top of the cream cheese layer. Then add the pudding and top with Cool Whip. Sprinkle with a few more chopped walnuts on top. I've made butterscottch too, and loved it. Going to make your chccolate one. Yumm! ❤
