What a great idea!! I'll make sure to avoid chewing gum as I bake.

I ate so many last year, I decided not to make any this year.......yet!!

I didn't know they stayed soft longer, but the recipe I have for choc chip cookies calls for pudding and I think it's the tastiest recipe I've ever tried. Now I can't wait to try the recipe I found that includes candy cane pudding (yes I actually found some at the store) and white chocolate chips, with crushed candy canes on top. Yum!

Ok here is the recipe I found. I have NOT tried it yet, so I can't say if it's good. I've also seen a few variations floating around, one used chocolate mint M&MS instead of candy canes and white chocolate. If you google "candy cane pudding recipe" you should be able to find a few different recipes.
