Better Than Anything Cake

submitted by Pamela Smith

1 c. flour
1 c. chopped nuts
1 stick butter, soft
2 (3 1/2 oz.) pkgs. instant chocolate pudding
1 c. confectioners' sugar
2 (8 oz.) cartons whipped topping
3 c. milk
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese

In medium bowl, combine flour, nuts and butter; mix thoroughly.
Press into bottom of a greased 9"x13" pan. Bake 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

In medium bowl with electric mixer, cream the cream cheese, sugar and one carton whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust. Refrigerate.

In large bowl, combine pudding mix and milk. Beat 3 minutes at low speed until thick and glossy. Spread evenly over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until pudding is set. Spread remaining whipped topping on top. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until everything is set.

*Revisions: This recipe is very versatile. You can replace the chocolate pudding with another flavor or add ½ cup of peanut butter to the chocolate pudding. I usually replace the crust with a graham cracker crust, which is also delicious with these flavors. Sprinkle chocolate shavings, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, or nuts on top for a nice garnish.
