Sandra in Oregon was wanting some rhubarb recipes. I have a TNT recipe that I have used for years that I love to take to church suppers and reunions. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loves it. What is so laughable is to see their faces when they find out it is made from rhubarb!!

Rhubarb Surprise Dessert

CRUST:
1 cups oleo, softened
2/3 cups powdered sugar
2 cups flour

Mix as for pie crust, cutting oleo into dry ingredients and lightly press in bottom of 9 x 13-inch cake pan. Bake 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

FILLING:
5 cups diced rhubarb
1/4 cup water

Simmer till tender. Add 1 cup sugar and 1 (3-ounce) package red Jell-O (I use Strawberry). Stir till Jell-O is dissolved and set aside. Combine 1 regular package vanilla pudding (not instant), and 1 regular package tapioca pudding (not instant) and 3 cups milk. Cook till thickened and mix with the rhubarb mixture, add 1 teaspoon almond flavoring and pour over crust. Cool and refrigerate till serving time. Serve with whipped topping. (I just spread a container of whipped topping on the dessert.)

Hint - I mix the puddings in 1 cup of cold milk, while I am heating the other 2 cups of milk over low medium heat. Just as it is coming to a boil (tiny bubbles around the edge), I stir up the pudding mixture and add it to the hot milk stirring constantly and the process goes faster. Don't forget the almond flavoring!!!
