Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
• 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups cold milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and chopped nuts, then cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 5

While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese layer. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping until well blended.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 7

In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens.

Step 8

Gently spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pudding squares for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
