A little background history of how this recie came into my hands:
I am an Army Brat, that had a mom that entertained as any other military wife did. Ome of my many memories of my childhood was this dessert. Now that I am a parent, my mom past this recipe along to me to share with my husband, kids and whoever we have over at our house. Warning!- this a very rich and filling scrumptious sweet- Enjoy!

 Four Layer Dessert
Layer # 1 - 1 cup flour, 1 stick melted butter or margarine, 1 cup chopped nuts.  Press into a 9 x 13 pan.  Bake in oven at 350 for 15 minutes.  Cool.

hmm… butter

Step 1 completed      

Layer # 2 - 8 oz. package of cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup cool whip.  Beat with mixer until well blended. Spread on crust after crust has cooled.

Bad mixer that sparked at beginning of Layer 2

 

Chunky Layer 2 (bad mixer)

Layer # 3 - 2 small boxed instant chocolate pudding. 3 cups milk.  Mix like regular pudding, only this will be thicker because using less milk than 2 boxes would call for.  Spread this over cream cheese mixture.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 before they meet

Layer #4 - Cover top with cool whip and sprinkle finely chopped pecans over top.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Ta Da!
