Rhubarb and Pudding Bars image

The BEST layered rhubarb dessert ever. Loaded with lots of flavor. I got this recipe from an old co-worker, so I don't know where it originally came from. Also, keep refrigerated, but it doesn't last too many days before the top becomes moist in a covered container. Don't add pudding and cool whip until day-of serving - maybe experiment with other storage ideas? Yum!
