Instructions

Pulverize graham crackers in a food processor, or crush them finely by placing them in a plastic zip-top bag and using a rolling pin. (You can also buy pre-crushed graham crackers in the baking aisle.)
2 cups crushed graham crackers
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cooled melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and maple syrup, stirring until everything is well mixed.
1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, 1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar, 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup
Using the back of a spatula, spread and firmly press the crust mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other layers.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and the remaining brown sugar until smooth. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans and half of the whipped topping by hand.
8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, 3/4 cup chopped pecans, 16 oz. whipped topping
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return the baking dish to the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
In the same bowl, whisk together both boxes of pudding mix and the milk until the mixture thickens but remains pourable. Spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
3 cups whole, cold milk, 2 Boxes (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer, then sprinkle the remaining pecans on top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
