Chocolate Mousse Crunch

This is the "Chocolate Mousse" recipe from my mission president's wife. I LOVED it when she would make this dessert for us. I decided to rename this "Chocolate Mousse Crunch" for my blog because it reminds me of a chocolate version of the Coconut Crunch. The recipe that was given to me has the caption, "Men love this!" It's true. My experience has been that women love this, too!

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend the above ingredients and press into bottom of 9"x13" pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool.

• 8 oz. (1 package) cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 of large container of Cool Whip (or 1 carton of whipping cream, whipped)

Beat cream cream cheese and sugar together until smooth, then add the cool whip and mix again. Spread evenly over the crust.

• 1 large box of instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2 3/4 cups of milk

Beat together pudding mix and milk until thick. Spread evenly over cream cheese mixture.

• The other 1/2 container of large Cool Whip (or another carton of whipping cream)

Top with the other half of the large Cool Whip. Sprinkle with some chopped nuts.
