Instructions
 

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.

  • Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours minimum.

Notes

  • Toast your pecans before adding them in.
  • This enhances their flavor significantly and adds crunch.
  • Make sure cream cheese is completely softened first.
  • Cold cream cheese creates lumps in your layer.
  • Use quality vanilla pudding for better taste overall.
  • Let each layer set briefly before adding next.
  • This prevents layers from mixing together messily.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap when refrigerating overnight.
  • Cut with a sharp knife for clean slices.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
