3-Layer Chocolate Dessert

Submitted by Torka

As far as I know, this one isn't legal under any weight-loss plan!

Crust:
1 C flour
1 stick butter, softened
2 Tbsp. sugar
¼ C chopped nuts (I usually use pecans but any nuts will do)

Mix and press into 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Cool.

Filling, Layer 1
¾ C powdered sugar
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ large carton, Cool Whip (you can use low fat, but what's the point?)

Blend. Spread on cooled crust. Set in refrigerator to chill while you work on Layer 2. Set aside remaining Cool Whip for use in Layer 3.

Filling, Layer 2
2 small pkg. instant chocolate pudding
2½ C cold milk

Blend. Spread on first layer. Set in refrigerator to chill while you work on Layer 3. (Be sure to let this layer chill long enough to "set" the pudding.)

Filling, Layer 3
Remaining ½ large carton, Cool Whip

Spread on second layer. Sprinkle with a few chopped nuts. Keep in refrigerator; cut in squares to serve.
