CLASSIC OREO ICEBOX DESSERT

I have been craaaaaaving this Oreo icebox dessert for about a month now, ever since our end-of-school ice cream party when my 'room mom' brought in Oreos for the students to put on their ice cream. Yes, I'm highly suggestible ... advertising works very well on me, especially when there's chocolate involved.

I went right out that afternoon and bought a package of Oreos so I could whip up this tasty dessert. But can you believe I didn't actually make it until this weekend?

Let me tell you, my friends, that's showing some serious restraint for me! It's sad to say, willpower is not one of my key strengths.

But alas, I succombed to the call of the Oreo.

Ingredients

1 (15 oz.) package Oreos, crushed
6 T. butter, melted
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened*
1 c. confectioners' sugar
1 large (5.1 oz.) box instant chocolate pudding* + milk to prepare, as specified on the pudding package
1 large (16 oz.) container Cool Whip whipped topping*

Directions

Set aside about 1/4 cup crushed Oreos. Mix remaining crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish.
Combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar; mix well. Fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crushed Oreo layer. Chill for 20 minutes.
