Oreo Pudding Bars

If you like Oreos, I can pretty much guarantee you will love this no-bake, creamy, chocolate-y, Oreo dessert.

Ingredients:

- 1 package (18 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed, divided
- 1/2 cup butter, melted

- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (12 oz) Cool Whip, thawed, divided

- 2 1/2 cups cold milk
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix

Directions:

Reserve 1 cup of the Oreo crumbs.

Combine the remaining Oreo crumbs with the melted butter. Press into an ungreased 13x9-inch pan.

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar. With a spoon, fold in 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip. Spread over the Oreo crust.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk and pudding mix. Whisk for 2 minutes, then let stand for 2 minutes longer, or until soft-set. Gently spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese mixture in the pan.

Top the pudding mixture with the remaining Cool Whip, then sprinkle with reserved Oreo crumbs and press them gently into the Cool Whip.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
