Ingredients
Instructions

- Spread the mixture in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 300°F (150°C).
- Allow to cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting half of the margarine with butter for a richer taste. If you're looking to reduce calories, use light cream cheese and sugar-free pudding mix. Chopped pecans or walnuts can replace the nuts if you prefer a different texture. Make sure to let the crust cool completely before adding the cream cheese and Cool Whip layer for the best results.

Consider offering coffee or a dessert wine on the side to enhance the flavor.
