FHE Dessert - Children's Friend Recipe

Becki was reading the Children's Friend and asked
if she could make dessert tonight. So she started,
it was really yummy but seemed to take about
2 hours to get it made. It is the peanut crust pudding.
very yummy and we skipped the butterscotch pudding
and used chocolate. Yeah Becki!

she collected all the ingredients

Had dad help open and peel the peanuts

Had Steven chop the nuts
