i've seen fistfights practically develop over who gets the skin of the pudding...
you might be able to auction it off on Ebay..
but dilbert's right - you want to make sure that no air comes in contact with the pudding.. put the plastic wrap right on the pudding. and you'll be skin free...not just over the top of the bowl, but directly on the pudding itself
psst -and if you think the cooked jello puddding is good- try making your own pudding.. it's easy - -and the ingredients you would probably already have on hand - cornstarch, milk, eggs, and sugar... plus whatever you want to flavor it with...
