49 Layer Delight!

As my awesome father-in-law calls it! His face gets all school-boyish, no more like school-girlish, and he gets that twinkle in his eye and squeals about 49 layer delight when anyone so much as hints about 4-layer delight. My mother-in-law figured out what he liked real quick. So here's the recipe. We have been craving it ever since they were here and I made a half batch for their anniversary. Enjoy!
FOUR LAYER DELIGHT
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 stick butter
Mix flour and butter into coarse meal, add nuts. Press in 9x13 baking dish. Bake 15 minutes, 350 oven. Cool.
STEP 2:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. Cool Whip
1 c. powdered sugar
Mix Cool Whip and powdered sugar. Add cream cheese. Spread evenly over crust.
STEP 3:
2 pkgs. instant pudding, vanilla or vanilla and chocolate, or 2 chocolate
Mix this with 3 cups cold milk. Mix until thick and spread over 2nd mixture.
STEP 4:
Top with Cool Whip and refrigerate several hours.

Sounds fabulous! I think I've had this before but have never made it.
