1 (12 oz.) angel food cake

1 (5 oz.) pkg. instant vanilla pudding

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 (12 oz.) container whipped topping

3 lg. Heath or Skor candy bars (approximately 1 1/4 oz. each), crushed

Shred or crumble the angel food cake into little pieces and put it into

a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. 

Mix pudding according to package directions,

adding the vanilla extract. 

Spoon pudding over the shredded cake, spread

whipped topping over the pudding and sprinkle the crushed candy bars

over it all. 

Serve as is or make ahead and chill.

It's simple when you buy a bakery-made angel food cake.

To crush the candy bars cover them, then tap lightly with a hammer or

some other heavy object.

add a layer of sliced bananas over the pudding layer.
