kraft announced in our paper today that they are no longer going to make the 'handi-snack' puddings or 'kool-aid' gels for the US market...so if you like them...you better stock up.....

Time to learn how to make my own pudding for the kids now

**MommyBliss** · 02-25-2009, 01:33 PM

I just do it myself. It gets too expensive with 4 kids.

**mommy4ever** · 02-25-2009, 01:34 PM

Hmm.. that's odd. Wonder if it's the same in Canada?

**guest002** · 02-25-2009, 01:40 PM

I bet a lot of folks like us are to blame, LOL. It's not hard to make your own.

**sabrelvssammy** · 02-25-2009, 01:40 PM

i don't know...they just said the US market.... they didn't say when either...just that they were no longer manufacturing them...i don't know if they will empty their warehouses still of them in our stores or send them all overseas (or wherever they send them)....

I haven't bought them in months maybe even a year. It is so easy to make your own.

**sabrelvssammy** · 02-25-2009, 01:42 PM

yea besides you guys shouldn't care anyway....you SHOULD all be making your own...lol.... (oh yea...there are those of you that are still buying them and able to get the pudding plus .15 cents BACK...) rock on shoppers!!!

Cooked puddin' is sooooooo good still hot and.......sorry!

I make 2 boxes but I use 2 cups milk and 2 cups water--tastes just fine that way, all hottttttt and....there I go again.

makes me think of my grandmother!

**gardening momma** · 02-25-2009, 02:20 PM

So for those of you who make your own (maybe this should be a new thread, or I should check the cookbook section), do you use a box mix, or do you make it from scratch?

Interesting....I did notice that the Kraft brand jello pudding/jello cups shelves were empty when I went to the commissary. When I do buy them, I buy the Hunt's brand anyway...cheaper

the packages you buy to make yourself doesn't taste the same to me as the cups

**rainbowgc** · 02-25-2009, 02:34 PM

For the landfills sake - good riddance!

Not only that, but 99% of the boxed kind have Red 40 in them, which we are avoiding.

Yep, I think it is great!! No more plastic in the landfills, no more screwing people of their money for something that should only cost .03 cents each!! Yippee!! Frugalites will be ready...others not so ready!
