Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 PT, I had to laugh when I saw this recipe...we made this in my Special Needs Classroom one time and it was a HUGE hit with the special needs kids, but the pudding and breakfast drink mixes are LOADED with sugar! We had 8 special needs kids bouncin off the walls for about an hour, and if you have ever been around special needs kids, you know that they can typically be hyper and excitable anyway. An hour and half after eating this, they were all sound asleep on thier cots while coming down off a sugar rush! It was an interesting day that day in Miss Nancy's class, thats for sure. The next time we made it, we skipped the pudding and breakfast drink mix and just had fun with the fruit.......MUCH calmer snack time that day *L*! Moral of the story....fruit is wonderfully delicious with out the fru fru!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Too funny! Well, my kids like sweet desserts, but maybe next time I will only use half the pudding mix and half the orange drink powder this recipe calls for and see if they notice or say anything. *lol* ~ pt ~ Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. ~ Brendan Francis ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " Nancy K.
