Tiddly Winks Dessert

{Household Magazine April 1951} 

"The party's fun for you too--when you let Del Monte Fruit Cocktail help!"

Tiddly Winks is just pudding and canned fruit cocktail...but with streamers and confetti you've got yourself a party!

If you want to make it extra easy on yourself skip making the pudding homemade as the ad suggests and go with instant, like I did. Just tint it pink with food coloring!
  For some extra partiness, I added cinnamon to my fruit cocktail.  This shindig is so wild I hope the neighbors don't report us for disturbing the peace.
Helpful hint:  Don't use french vanilla instant pudding.  The yellow color will react with the red dye resulting in a peach color, as seen above.  Officially Tiddly Winks are suppose to be pink.  Mine are more "Taddly Wonks".
