Personal Notes:
I guess this dessert got its name while Robert Redford was popular. I have never been able to use just one tub of cool whip for this recipe so I always get 2 tubs, some people leave off the nuts and chocolate bar. I always add the nuts. You can also make this with lemon pudding in place of the chocolate pudding and serve it in the summer. I have also used cheesecake pudding in this recipe.
