Easy Peasy Pudding Dessert

• 2 small boxes instant pudding (I used vanilla)
• 2 cups milk

whisk together until pudding is dissolved (mixture will be thick - don't worry)

• 1 tub cool whip (the smaller - aprox 8 oz size tub)

stir into pudding until well incorporated

• 1 can mandarin oranges - well drained (I used the larger can)
• 1 can pineapple tidbits - well drained (20 oz can)

stir fruit into pudding & cool whip mixture

the final ingredient is not added until just before serving - to keep from getting soggy

• keebler fudge striped cookies - broken into bite size pieces (aprox 8-10 cookies)

optional additional ingredient

• snickers minis candy bars - cut up into even more mini pieces
  

**********
warning: once I added too many cookies to the recipe - and contrary to what you might think - it is not necessarily a good thing.
