Well, isn't this funny, When I talked to my wife, she mentioned that she has a blog, also my two (2) daughters and my son is working on his. Well aren't we a blogging family. It is funny to read all about your families experiences. Some are very interesting and some are shocks to me. I don't think they know that I have the sites on my desktop, so I can check them out all of the time. I don't want to stifle their creativity. :-0 I am getting so good at these smiley faces. Too bad so is the "whole" world. :-(( Anyway, I was checking out this other recipe and it was great. It also tasts great. If you have any ideas, please write them down. It would be great chatting back and forth.
Better Than Sex Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (plus some extra)
1 stick butter
1 cup powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz tub Cool Whip
2 small boxes of pudding (Cook 'n Serve chocolate, or instant lemon)[Instant chocolate works, but it isn't nearly as good]
Directions:
Layer 1:Combine flour, nuts, and butter. Mix and press into ungreased 9x13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees 15 minutes. Cool.
Layer 2:Cream together powdered sugar and cream cheese. Fold in (actually I just use the mixer) 1 cup Cool Whip. Spread over cooled crust.
Layer 3: Prepare pudding, using 3 cups of milk. Pour over 2nd layer (chocolate pudding will need to be cooled first--you might want to make it ahead witht the crust).
Layer 4:Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with nuts. Regrigerate.This makes a very nice dessert, however, If you find the crust a little bland. Substitute an Oreo Cookie crust (recipe to follow) and sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top instead of the nuts. The chocolate crust gives the dessert a little pizzaz! (Note: Oreo crust would probably not go well with the lemon, but why would I choose lemon over chocolate?!?)
