Try this on for size

Chocolate Layer Dessert

1st Layer
¾ cup butter
2 TBS powered sugar
1 ½ cups – 2 TBS flour (that’s minus or subtract 2 TBS of the flour from the cup and a half to make up for the powered sugar)
¾ cup chopped nuts (I use walnuts)

Mix together to make dough. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the crust is light brown. Let crust cool completely before adding the next layer.

2nd Layer
8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese
1 cup powered sugar
½ 8 oz tub of Cool Whip

Cream together cream cheese and powered sugar. Fold in Cool Whip until smooth. Don’t over mix. (It’s important to use Philadelphia, Cool Whip and Jell-O brands. I have tried it with the cheap stuff and it doesn’t set up.) (Also, I used the 16oz size of Cool Whip.)
Spread over crust.

3rd Layer
1 large package Jell-O vanilla instant pudding
1 large package Jell-O chocolate instant pudding
4 cups milk

Combine and spread over 2nd layer.

4th Layer
Spread remaining Cool Whip over pudding. Sprinkle with grated chocolate candy bar.

Cover and chill at least 8 hours, better if overnight.

My mama always makes this. Right now I could totally eat a 9x13 pan full of it on my own. Yum.
