I cant find white chocolate pudding in the store (never able to find it) I'm supposed to be doing the BFT tomorrow afternoon for a show, I bought chocolate pudding but am wondering if I should use Vanilla instead for the color (bet it would still taste fine)
Thanks for the quick responses

I'd use vanilla for color variation. Good luck!
 
white chocolate pudding and cheesecake pudding are the best because they are white--vanilla is yellow. Look for those flavors, usually made by jello brand, in sugar free I always find them and you don't notice any difference.

I'm serious I've looked and looked and looked, I'll look again but I really cant find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Like Nancy, I usually find it only in sugar-free.
 
Ask a friend that lives in another town to check for you, ask this person to buy you several of them - the date on the boxes are usually long.
