How to Make Aunt Freed's Butter Pecan Dessert
- **Prepare the Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- **Bake the Crust:** Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
- **Prepare the Filling:** While the crust is baking, prepare your chosen pudding according to package directions. We recommend using a 3.4 ounce package of instant pudding mix and 1 ¼ cups of milk.
- **Layer the Dessert:** Spread the cooled pudding evenly over the cooled crust.
- **Add the Next Layer:** In a separate bowl, whisk together another 3.4 ounce package of instant pudding and 1 ¼ cups of milk. Spread this second layer evenly over the pudding layer.
- **Top it Off:** Spread 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle generously with additional chopped pecans (about ½ cup).
