More cake than pie, I found this recipe in an old Kansas Cookbook I picked up before moving to the UK. This recipe most resembles a traditional English Eve's pudding. Submitted by: NAN_LT

Made these with elders at a retirement community. They loved them. I added Peeps on top...which made them laugh! They still talk about them over a week later! - 4/24/11

I made this with my granddaughter using pretzels instead of the chow mein noodles but I would break the pretzels in half next time. I didn't eat any but the grandchildren enjoyed them. - 3/5/09

I make these with my daughter every year for easter. I have never tried doing it with chocolate chips. I always use marshmellows and make them like a rice krispie treat. I will definetly be trying this version. I use cadbury mini eggs and peeps with mine! - 4/28/08
