How to Make Twinkie Delight

Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished dessert out easily.
Cut Twinkies in half lengthwise. Arrange the bottom halves in the prepared pan, frosting-side up.
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 3 cups of cold milk until smooth and creamy. Let sit for 1 minute to thicken.
Immediately pour the chocolate pudding evenly over the layer of Twinkies.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the pudding to set slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and the remaining 3 cups of cold milk until smooth and creamy. Let sit for 1 minute to thicken.
Gently pour the vanilla pudding evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
Refrigerate for another 15 minutes to allow the pudding to set.
Top with the thawed whipped topping. Spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely. Enjoy!
