Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

A chopped candy bar is a convenient dessert garnish, but a little is enough. Mixing most of it into pudding leaves a few pieces for the top and keeps the whole cup from becoming overwhelmingly sweet.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI Danbury Commissary List.

Make it

Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Chop the candy bar into pea-sized pieces using a clean approved utensil; choose candy that can be cut without heating.
  2. Fold half the candy into both pudding cups and reserve the rest for topping.
  3. Break cookies coarsely and divide them among four small cups. Spoon the pudding over them without crushing the layers together.
  4. Divide the remaining candy across the tops and serve, or refrigerate promptly if service is delayed.

The useful detail

Keep a few distinct cookie and candy pieces rather than blending everything into the pudding.

When the store is different

Use chocolate candies or chopped peanut-butter cups, checking allergens.

Serving & handling

Mix moist ingredients close to serving. Keep opened or mixed perishables refrigerated if they are not being eaten promptly. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
