1st layer
½ C margarine or butter, 1 Cup flour: cut together and smooth in bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 20 min. or until crust is golden corn color.

2nd layer:
1 C powdered sugar, 1 8oz.softened package cream cheese, 1 C. cool whip (nine oz) Mix together and spread over crust. (I do mine when the crust is still hot. it spreads easier. I put dots on the crust wait for a few seconds and then spread. it keeps the crust from coming up off the pan)

3rd Layer:
3 cups milk, 1 6 oz package instant pudding(chocolate, lemon or what you want) beat with a beater and spread over second layer. 4th layer, top with rest of softened cool whip sprinkle with toasted almonds if desired. serves aprox 15.
