Chocolate Dream

We are having the sister missionaries over for dinner tonight. I found this dessert in a ward cookbook that we got from Aaron's mom. A lady named Nelda M. submitted it. It sounded yummy, so we are trying it. I didn't want to have a lot of leftovers (since that means I would probably eat too much) so I halved it, and put it into a 9x9 pan. We'll see how it turns out.

Chocolate Dream











Crust:
1 c. walnuts, chopped
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 c. flour
Mix together and press into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cool.
First layer:
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. Cool Whip
Mix together until smooth. Spread over cooled crust.
Second layer:
1 small pkg. instant vanilla pudding, mixed according to directions
Third layer:
1 small pkg. instant chocolate pudding, mixed according to directions
Top layer:
The rest of the 8 oz. Cool Whip container (had to guess on the size it didn't say)
Cool at least 1 hour.

Since I halved it I used about one cup of each pudding for the layers, and save the other cup to eat later. David says he doesn't want the "pie" and just wants the pudding. We shall see! Oh and make sure the Cool Whip is soft so you can spread it without messing up the chocolate layer! Dessert is done, now I have to figure out what we are having for the main course!
