This is a recipe I LOVE LOVE LOVE. It was VERY popular around here, about 15 years ago. LOL I can tell you a short cut too…I just buy pudding at the grocery store – already made up – you know, that Jello pudding in the cups – the flavors I prefer and it saves time, just spreading those on, instead of cooking pudding, or even mixing some up.

                                      Four Layer Delight

Layer 1:  In 9×13 (but I even use 9×9), melt 1 stick of margarine.  Stir in:

                 1 cup flour        1 cup chopped pecans, finely chopped

               Press in bottom of pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool

Layer 2:  Cream 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese. Add: 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 cup Cool Whip (get a tub of LARGE Cool Whip). Spread mixture on top of crust.

Layer 3: Use cooked or instant pudding. (This is where I just use my storebought pudding cups, to save this entire process of steps, if I am in a hurry – I just spread them in layers over Layer 2). Mix 1 pkg. vanilla and 1 pkg. chocolate pudding with 3 cups milk. (If cooked pudding, allow to cool). Spread on top of second layer. (I usually do the storebought in these flavors: chocolate layer, then vanilla layer, caramel layer..whatever you like).

Layer 4:  Spread remaining Cool Whip on top. Then I grate a Hershey bar over it, for decoration.

CindyP, Paula Dean did a "Better than Sex" cake on her tv food network show..it was like a yellow cake, with cream cheese, pineapple..I forget what all…but I am sure you could still find it online at Food Tv under Paula Dean.
