3 tablespoons instant, lemon pudding mix
8 squares graham crackers, crushed
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange slices, drained (or your favorite fresh, canned or dried fruit)

  2. Layer bottom of serving dish with crushed graham crackers, reserving a few tablespoons to sprinkle on top.
  3. Pour pudding mixture over cracker crumbs.
  4. Top with mandarin orange slices or your favorite fruit. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Makes 6 servings.
