Duncan Hines Layered Pudding is essentially a cross between cake and pudding. Each [single-serve cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-cups) features [two layers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dippin-dots-ice-cream-sundaes) of cake-flavored pudding for a unique dessert experience. The pudding cups all come in three different cake-inspired varieties, each of which features a tasty pair of flavors. There's a Yellow Cake With Chocolate Frosting Pudding that combines chocolate frosting pudding and yellow cake-flavored pudding, and a Frosting Sugar Cookie Pudding that pairs vanilla frosting with a sugar cookie-flavored pudding. Finally, there's a Salted Caramel Brownie Pudding that combines salted caramel and chocolate brownie-flavored puddings. Best of all, there are four pudding cups in each pack so there's enough to go around.
