This is a great recipe to make with kids. I used a different brand cake mix but same pudding brand. Used Lactose-free milk. We found the finished, cooled product, not ,like chewy brownies but more like rubbery cake honestly. I would not make it again.
That could be due to several factors, the pan size, was their fat in the milk? The oven temperature and cooking time.
I am having a hard time finding strawberry pudding.
Look for sonic strawberry shake pudding. I find that everywhere. It is on amazon, Walmart etc.
