This recipe is done in layers, as you might notice in the recipe list. To help you along, I broke down the list into the layers.

Layer one:

Combine flour and butter in a processor until it looks like coarse crumbs. Now add the nuts and pulse a few more times. Press this mixture into a 13×9 greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25-28 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. (I normally do this the day before.)

Layer two:

Beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and well mixed. Now fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping. Layer this mixture on top of the first layer.

Layer three:

In a bowl, whisk milk and both of the pudding mixes together for about 2 minutes or until soft set. Spread over the peanut butter layer.

Layer four:

Spread the remaining whipped topping over the whole thing.

I like to sprinkle the top with some sort of crumbled candy bar. I’ve used Hershey’s, Butterfinger, Snickers—they are all really yummy on top.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer before serving.
