A recipe passed down from my mother. I believe that she got it from my Aunt Cathy, but I could be wrong. Other names are Mean Momma’s Mountain Mudslide (as it is known in my family) and The Next Best Thing Since Robert Redford. Dieters beware!!!
1st Layer
1 cup flour
½ cup butter
½ cup Chopped nuts (optional – I usually use pecans or almonds)
¼ cup icing sugar
Mix together and press into a 9” X 13” pan and bake at 350º for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
2nd Layer
8 oz. Cream cheese
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup cool whip
Mix together and spread on top of the first layer, after it has cooked and cooled.
3rd Layer
1 2 ounce package chocolate instant pudding
1 2/3 cups milk
Mix together and let partly set, then spread evenly over the second layer.
4th Layer
Top the third layer with cool whip, then sprinkle with chocolate shavings and or chopped nuts.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
