Ingredients
  

12 pre-packaged Twinkies

1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla instant pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Additional whipped topping for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping to make it creamy.

    Layer the Twinkies: Slice each Twinkie in half lengthwise and line the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish with the halved Twinkies, cut side up.

      Add a Layer of Pineapple: Spread the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the Twinkies.

        Spread the Pudding Mixture: Pour and spread the vanilla pudding mixture over the layer of pineapple, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

          Top with More Twinkies: Arrange another layer of halved Twinkies on top of the pudding mixture, placing them cut side up again.

            Final Layer of Topping: Spread another cup of whipped topping over the Twinkies, smoothing it out nicely.

              Garnish and Chill: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and sprinkle with chopped walnuts (if using) for added texture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

                Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled, adding an extra dollop of whipped topping if desired. Enjoy your delicious no-bake Twinkie pudding cake!
