Moon Cake

Dolores Jacobs, Matta, MT (I think Mom got this from the paper.)

(This is a huge chocolate eclair)

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs
2 small boxes vanilla instant pudding
1 eight-oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 eight-oz. container Cool Whip
Chocolate Sauce
Chopped Nuts

Bring the water and butter to a boil.  Add flour, all at once and stir rapidly until mixture forms a ball.  remove from heat and cool a little while.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating each addition with spoon.  Spread on ungreased 11"x15" cookie sheet.  Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.  Cool.  (it should look like the moon's surface -- that's why it's called Moon Cake.) Don't prick, leave as is.

Mix instant pudding according to directions.  Beat in softened cream cheese.  Blend well.  Spread on crust.  Refrigerate 20 minutes. Generously top with Cool Whip.  Drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle on chopped nuts.
