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.
