Recipe- Orange Dream Squares

I used to post a few recipes on the blog....then for some reason I stopped.   I'm going to try to start that again. I came across this one and it sounded good, so I tried it a few weeks ago with some friends.  It was tasty!  And pretty easy too!
(sorry- no pictures)

Orange Dream Squares

40 Nilla Wafers, crushed (honestly you need more than 40!)
1/2 stick butter, melted (I used more!)
2 cups milk
2 packages (4 serving) vanilla pudding
1 8 oz tub Cool Whip
2 cups orange sherbet (Raspberry would be good, too)

Line a 9x13 pan with foil (ends extending over the side).  Mix crumbs and butter.  Press into pan.
Add milk to dry pudding and blend.  Stir in half of Cool Whip.  Refrigerate 10 minutes.  Add other half of Cool Whip to sherbet and spoon over pudding.  Freeze for 3 hours before serving.

It was very easy to half the recipe, but I definitely used more than 40 Nilla Wafers and more than 1/2 a stick of butter.  A 9x9 pan served 8 adults easily.  I also thought about it... you could use a graham cracker pie crust but it would give it a little different taste...

ENJOY!
