Okay, so let's break that down. You know what dessert is – it's something sweet that you eat after a meal to make your tummy happy. Pudding is a type of dessert that's usually creamy and jiggly, like chocolate pudding or vanilla pudding.

Molasses is a thick, dark syrup that's made from sugar. It tastes really strong and kind of bitter, but it's also really sweet. Raisins are little dried grapes that are also sweet and chewy.
