Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. This ensures your crust will bake perfectly.
Creating the Crust: Pulse 1 1/4 cups of Teddy Grahams and 1/2 cup of walnuts in a food processor until finely ground. Mix these crumbs with 1 stick of melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9″×13″ casserole dish to form your crust. Bake it for 15 minutes, or until the crust has set, then allow it to cool.
Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, blend the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, half of the Cool-Whip, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this creamy mixture over the cooled crust as the next layer.
Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk together both packages of pudding mix with the milk until the mixture thickens. Carefully spread this over the cream cheese layer, ensuring an even distribution.
Final Touches: Top the pudding layer with the remaining Cool-Whip. Crush the remaining Teddy Grahams and sprinkle them, along with the remaining chopped walnuts, over the Cool-Whip for a delightful crunch.
Chill and Set: Cover your creation and refrigerate it. For the best results, let it chill overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serving Your Masterpiece:
Once set, cut the Chocolate Delight into squares and serve. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, from the crunchy base to the creamy, fluffy layers, culminating in the rich taste of chocolate and vanilla.
Enjoy the Delight:
