    1       c            Butter
    1 1/2   c            Chopped pecans
    1       c            Confectioners sugar
    3       pk           Instant chocolate pudding
    2       c            Flour
    8       oz           Cream cheese
    3       c            Whipped topping
    3       c            Milk
 
   Melt butter; stir in flour and 1 c of the nuts.  Continue stirring
 until a thick paste is formed, with no flour lumps.  Press into
 bottom of a 13x10 baking pan and bake 15 min at 375F.  Cool. Prepare
 first layer of filling  by combining cream cheese, sugar, and 1 c
 whipped topping. Beat with electric mixer at med speed for 2-3 min.
 Spoon into cooled crust, then smooth with spatula. Combine pudding
 and milk in the mixing bowl used for the first filling. Beat well,
 then pour over the cream cheese layer. As soon as the chocolate
 layer firms up a bit, spoon on more whipped topping,  smoothing and
 adding until there is an additional 1/2" layer above the chocolate.
 Sprinkle with remaining pecans and chill for at least 3 hours.
