Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, and finely chopped pecans. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the first layer.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely before proceeding.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust to create the second layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and milk until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer to create the third layer.
Finally, spread the remaining thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer to form the fourth and final layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Four Layer Delight!
