Ingredients
Scale

- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 0.25 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 8 oz thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M’s)

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust by finely crushing all 14 oz of Oreo cookies. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping and press the remaining crumbs firmly into a 9×13 inch dish to create a solid crust.
- Make the Filling by beating together 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 0.25 cup of softened unsalted butter, and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Combine Pudding by whisking 3.4 oz of instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Allow it to thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Mix Together by gently folding the thickened pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Layer the filling evenly over the prepared crust, topping with the reserved Oreo crumbs, 0.5 cup of mini Oreos, and 1 cup of pastel candy-coated chocolates.
- Chill covered for at least 2 hours to firm up the layers. A longer chilling time enhances the texture and flavors.
