Very good and easy to make. Only downfall is that it is not very good after 2 days. I made ahead and it was fine but by the day after the crust was very soggy.

I made this as one of our desserts for Easter dinner. I sprinkled chocolate chips and Reese's peanut butter chips on the top along with the chopped nuts. It was so delicious that everyone wanted seconds and the recipe! I can't wait to make this again.

I make it with a graham cracker crust. My Grandkids ask for it all the time.

The pudding did not set up. I don't know what went wrong. I was disappointed since I needed it for a pot luck.

I love this! This is one that has been around for a long time. I have always made it with the traditional walnut/flour/butter crust but this was much easier and pretty tasty!!

I use crushed oreos on the bottom instead

This recipe was a huge hit! Everyone had seconds...and thirds! It was even better after sitting for another day. My husband really wants me to try this one with butterscotch instead of chocolate pudding next time. Maybe I'll throw in some butterscotch chips as well.

Made this with sugar cookie dough, banana/French vanilla pudding and nilla wafers on top-total hit!

I haven't tried this but I know it will be fabulous. Like many others here, we have made this in my family for years but called it Chocolate Delight. The crust was made from flour, butter and chopped nuts.

NOTE for those who had trouble with a hard, over cooked cookie base: you might be using a 15x9 inch pan by mistake: it needs the smaller pan to make sure it is a thick enough layer to transform from a crisp cookie to a dense chewy texture. For a thinner crust, try lowering your heat by 25 degrees, and/or using a glass pan rather than a dark metal pan. Good luck!

I have made similar to this for years. This is my kids birthday cake. I use oreo cookies crumbled for the base and I sometimes use butterscotch pudding. We have a different name for this, but the kids have to call it pudding layered dessert. We call it "Sex in a pan". I have also made this for my diabetic husband, with sugar free cookies, whip cream and pudding. Still delicious.

I have made this recipe for years except for instead of chocolate chip cookie dough I use a Jiffy Devils Food Cake mix, baked for about 10 minutes and cooled, as the base. This was a nice change up and almost as good!

This is a great dessert. I change it up and do a twist on banana pudding (just use banana pudding and top with vanilla wafers and to get really fanacy curl some white chocolate, white chocolate chips and/or almond bark) and it is always a hit. I figure you can do it with several different flavors

I defiently agree with the other review when it comes to making sure that you do NOT over cook the cookie dough. I didn't even leave it in the oven half the time that the recipe called for, infact I thought it still looked a little doughy when I got it out, but when I tried to get a piece the next morning...it was inpossible to get out of the dish. I tried the recipe again, but this time didn't bake the dough even as long as the first time and made sure to let it cool a little bit before adding the cream cheese mixture and it was much better. I also used a packet of white chocolate pudding and cheesecake pudding the second time around, instead of the vanilla and chocolate, and liked it even better. Either way...beware the cookie dough.

Made this for my family over Fourth of July and they loved it, so I made it for dessert for my church for 125 people and everyone raved. Just be careful not to overbake the cookie , otherwise it is real hard to cut and serve.
