Peaches-and-Cream Pudding Bars*
1 white or yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/3 - 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 small boxes vanilla or cheesecake instant pudding
3 cups milk
1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches, drained
12 oz whipped topping
fresh sliced peaches, optional
Preheat oven to 350°. With a spoon, mix cake mix, egg, and butter together. Press dough into a lighly greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake 14-18 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. With a spoon, remove air pockets by pushing down evenly over entire hot crust. Allow crust to cool completely.
Mix together pudding mix and milk until thick. Chill pudding 5-10 minutes. Place half of sliced peaches evenly over top of cooled crust. Spread half of pudding over peaches. Place remaining peaches over pudding. Spread remaining pudding over peaches. Cover and chill at least 3 hours.
Before serving, frost dessert with whipped topping and garnish with fresh peaches if desired. Cut into bars and serve. Store in refrigerator.
