Chocolate Covered Strawberry Parfait

• 1 lb butter pound cake, cubed
• 6 ounces chocolate syrup (or to taste) or 6 ounces ice cream topping (or to taste)
• 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
• 2 (1 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
• 4 cups cold milk (for the pudding)
• 3 cups strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup pecans, toasted
• 1 whole large strawberry (for top)

1. Mix the packages of pudding with the cold milk with a whisk until the whisk starts to leave a trail.
2. In a medium glass bowl, layer the parfait.
3. For each layer: 1/3 of the pound cake, then 1/3 of the pudding, then 1/3 of the strawberries, 1/3 of the whipped topping, then 1/4 of the chocolate sauce, then 1/3 of the pecans.
4. Make 3 layers.
5. On top of the last layer, put the whole strawberry in the center.
6. Chill for at least 15 minutes so the pudding sets.
7. Serve!
8. (Note: It will look much prettier in the bowl than after it is served.
9. I was not able to successfully get a pretty looking serving out of the bowl!
