Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans until crumbly. Press into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 15–18 minutes. Let cool.
Make the Creamy Filling: Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping and spread over the crust.
Create the Pudding Layer: Whisk together chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes with cold milk until thickened. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
Top and Chill: Spread remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Drizzle caramel and chocolate sauces, sprinkle with chopped pecans. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For a richer version, use dulce de leche and hot fudge instead of standard caramel and chocolate sauce.
This dessert is best made ahead and chilled overnight for the layers to set perfectly.
