Instructions

Pecan Oat Crust

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Step 2

In a food processor or high-powered blender (see recipe notes for by-hand method) place the oats, pecans, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt. Process, scraping down the bowl once or twice, until well mixed and the mixture comes together into a large bowl.

Step 3

Press firmly into an even layer in a 9X13 baking pan (preferably glass baking dish). Bake for 20-22 minutes. The crust will still be soft to the touch. Set aside to cool completely.

Cream Cheese Layer

Step 4

Beat together the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and no lumps remain. Fold in 1 cup cool whip whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust using an offset spatula.

Butterscotch Pudding

Step 5

Using a hand mixer on low speed, beat together the milk with butterscotch pudding for 2 minutes, or until thick. Use an offset spatula to smooth over cream cheese layer.

Step 6

Spread 3-4 cups Cool Whip over the butterscotch layer. Sprinkle with Heath bits, nuts, or drizzle with butterscotch sauce, if desired. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Store the leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.
