Donna – “Sex in a Pan” is the most perfect name for this recipe! Much more descriptive than “Chocolate Layer Dessert.” lol!

I’m afraid to make it again when I’m trying to lose extra pounds. So yummy!

When my son was young this was his absolute favorite dessert. He always requested it. Everyone enjoys this!

I haven’t thought of this dessert in years! Now I can’t wait to make it again.

We used to try different pudding combinations & sprinkling flavored jello powder into the cool whip. Cheesecake pudding with strawberry cool whip was tasty. So was pistachio pudding.

Thank you for reminding me of this great recipe! ;o}

I am so glad I found this recipe. I used to make this along time ago but unfortunately I lost the recipe. The name of the recipe that I used was called “Sex in a Pan”. Not my idea but everyone loved it.

Oh this was so good! (Not to mention easy.) Took it to a potluck today and left with an empty pan. I used crushed pretzels instead of the nuts because many people in my family have nut allergies. Thanks for a great recipe!
