Mom's Crunchy Pudding Cake (Nevada's "better than sex cake")

We all know the deliciously moist, ooey, gooey chocolatey cake known as "better than sex cake" here in Idaho; but what we may not know is that Nevada has their very own dessert with this same label but, much, much different! I told my sister I was making Idaho's version of the cake and she said, "MMMM" and began describing it when I stopped her, wondering what the heck she was talking about. It turns out it's a recipe my mom has been making for years! Well, here it is - Nevada's Better Than Sex Dessert! And if you thought our cake was good, you've gotta try this one!! (I'll post Idaho's version soon)


Ingredients & Directions:

1. Mix 1 1/2 cups softened butter or margarine, 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 cup finely chopped walnuts until firm. Spread in the bottom of a 13x9 (smaller pan if you want a thicker dessert)bake 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Let cool COMPLETELY. This will take a couple of hours! When pretty cool, you can move to the fridge to speed up process.

2. With a handmixer, mix together 1 8oz package cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 9oz tub of coolwhip until smooth (will be thick). Spread over cooled crust.

3. Mix 1 small package of each vanilla and chocolate instant pudding with 2 1/2 cups milk. Beat 1 minute. Spread over coolwhip layer.

4. Spread the remaining cool whip on top and sprinkle with grated chocolate or walnuts. ENJOY!!
