Hi guys, Erica here bringing you more treats!\u00a0 So, I have a horrible cold at the moment and have not really been in the mood for food but I saw this photo while looking through some of my older files and thought “Ooooh, I wish there was some of that in the fridge right now.”\u00a0 Apparently I last made this in 2009…yikes, I need to get better soon so I can fix that!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Growing up this was a staple dessert at all family get togethers.\u00a0 Either my grandma or my mom would make it and it was always gobbled up…oh, how we loved this stuff.\u00a0 I don’t always think to make it nowadays because it takes a little planning ahead (with chilling times) and I am an instant gratification kind of dessert eater.\u00a0 So, since I had a photo and it made me hungry I thought I better share this recipe today!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chocolate Delight <\/strong>aka Layered Pudding Bars<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crust:<\/p>\n

1 stick butter, slightly softened<\/p>\n

1 1\/4 cups flour<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup pecans<\/p>\n

Combine ingredients and press into the bottom of your pan.\u00a0 Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.\u00a0 Let Cool a bit.\u00a0 (The only part I can’t remember is whether it’s a cookie sheet or a 13×9 pan…yikes, sorry!\u00a0 I think I tried a cookie sheet last time & ended up doubling the crust recipe to make it work – but I like a lot of crust.\u00a0 I will be trying a 13×9 pan next time.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Layer 2:<\/p>\n

8 oz. package cream cheese, softened<\/p>\n

1\/2 package of cool whip (12 oz.container)<\/p>\n

1 cup powdered sugar<\/p>\n

Beat ingredients together until well combined.\u00a0 Spread on top of crust and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Layer 3:<\/p>\n

1 large package chocolate pudding<\/p>\n

milk<\/p>\n

Make pudding according to package directions.\u00a0 If you plan on this dessert disappearing within a day, instant pudding is fine…if you think you will have leftovers, use the pudding you have to cook on the stove top.\u00a0 (The instant pudding gets “watery” overnight and will soak into the crust and make it kinda soggy.)\u00a0 When pudding is set\/cooled spread on top of the cream cheese layer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Layer 4:<\/p>\n

Top with remaining cool whip and sprinkle with another 1\/2 cup of pecans (if desired).\u00a0 Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.\u00a0 Cut into bars and ENJOY!<\/p>\n
