LUCKY IF BITE LEFT PIE

Years ago when Home Interior first started and they printed their first cook book this recipe was in it. It has been used for many years by our family for homecomings and parties. This recipe has many different names to it but we all still call if by its old name "Lucky If Bite Left Pie". When you eat it you cannot hardly stop and at all times there is always none left. The crust is the tricky part. If you let if bake to long it will taste like scorched pie crusts. I always add just a small amount of water to mine and it makes it more flaky. When you take it out of the oven and let it cool I always take and crush mine up but most people don't do this.

1 St. Layer :
1 Cup Flour
11/2 Stick Marg., softened
1/2 Cup Nuts, pecans

This is your crust. Mix and press in pan. Bake until done. do not let burn.Use a long glass pan for this or a glass type baking dish. (13 x 9 size).I mix just a little bit of water in my crust. Stir good. Bake on 325 for around 12 minutes.

2nd layer:
1 Cup Cool Whip, buy the big bowl of cool whip as you will need some for the top
8(oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
Mix together and put over cooled crust.

3rd layer:
2 Large Boxes Instant Chocolate Pudding
5 Cups Milk
Or Can use 2 Small Boxes of Instant Chocolate Pudding and 1 Small Box of Instant Vanilla Pudding.

If using the 2 large boxes of instant pudding then mix up with 5 cups of milk. If using the 3 small boxes of pudding then use 5 cups of milk also when mixing up.Mix the chocolate and vanilla pudding together with the milk. When mixed pour over the top of the cream cheese and cool whip layer.

4 Th. Layer:
Put the remaing cool whip over top of the chocolate pudding layer and spread out good. Then sprinkle with crusted pecans (1/2 cup) over the cool whip. Some people drizzle chocolate syrup over the pecan layer.
Put in ref. for around 2 hours before serving or overnight. Keep ref.

You can use different puddings with this. Some people like to use butterscotch pudding instead of chocolate and then some people make one side choc. and the other side butterscotch. Some use lemon and some use coconut  but  I like the chocolate pudding the best for this.
